Tamil Nadu Assembly: DMK MLAs evicted after sit-in protest demanding expunction of CM Vijay’s remarks on Sarkaria Commission, MISA

DMK MLAs were evicted from the Tamil Nadu Assembly on the direction of Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar on Tuesday (September 8, 2026) after they staged a sit-in protest and raised slogans demanding the expunction of Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s remarks on the Sarkaria Commission, MISA, former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, late Murasoli Maran, and the dossier prepared by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) against the erstwhile DMK government.

Mr. Prabhakar made it clear that he would not expunge the remarks, saying the issues, particularly the Sarkaria Commission, had been debated in the House several times and that the Chief Minister had quoted from an ED report that was already in the public domain. “He has not said anything new,” he said.
