Tamil Nadu Opposition parties, led by DMK president and Leader of the Opposition M.K. Stalin, staged a walkout of the Tamil Nadu Assembly opening session on Wednesday, after attempting to raise various issues before the customary Governor’s address.

Soon after the House convened at 10 a.m. with ''Tamil Thai Vaazhthu'' and when the Governor commenced his speech, Mr. Stalin rose to raise some issues.

But the Governor began his speech. Mr. Stalin continued to attempt to raise some issues, but he was not given a chance to speak. The Governor continued to pacify him in vain.

Mr. Stalin and his party legislators then staged a walkout.

The DMK’s allies — the Congress and the Indian Union Muslim League followed suit.
