Tamil Nadu: Opposition boycotts governor's address, stages walkout in House

The DMK and its allies - the Congress and a lone IUML member - on Wednesday boycotted the customary address of Tamil Nadu governor Banwarilal Purohit on the opening day of the first Assembly session of the year by staging a walkout.

As the governor began his address saying 'Vanakkam' and gave a message to the members of the House stressing on 'simple living,' M K Stalin stood up trying to say something.

Though Purohit urged Stalin to resume his seat, saying "with folded hands I request you," the Leader of Opposition continued to speak on issues like the circumstances surrounding the death of late chief minister J Jayalalithaa which could not be heard properly.
