Tumultuous scenes in Tamil Nadu Assembly as CM Vijay attacks DMK invoking Sarkaria Commission, Veeranam scandal

During a session of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on September 7, 2026, Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay delivered a strong critique of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), accusing its leaders of corruption and citing historical references such as the Sarkaria Commission report, the Veeranam scandal, and allegations of 'party funds' collected by the 'Karur' group. The DMK members responded with protests, including slogans, pamphlets, and a sit-in around the Speaker, attempting to disrupt Vijay's speech. The Speaker refused to grant the DMK time to respond, stating their actions aimed to prevent Vijay's message from reaching the public. Despite tensions, Vijay showed gestures of assistance to a DMK member struggling to stand and later requested the Speaker to allow the DMK to speak, though the request was denied.
