CM Stalin takes ‘saffron’ jibe at AIADMK

CHENNAI: Chief Minister MK Stalin and Speaker M Appavu took jibes at the MLAs of the principal opposition party, AIADMK, and the ruling party at the centre, BJP, who remained silent on Tuesday in the Assembly while all others welcomed the Supreme Court’s verdict censuring Governor RN Ravi for withholding assent to 10 bills sent to him.

Stalin requested the DMK MLAs and members of all other parties that welcomed the verdict, except the AIADMK and the BJP, to convey their thanks to the Supreme Court and the people of Tamil Nadu by thumping their desks.

The House subsequently reverberated with the sound of them thumping the desks.
