"Governor Created Extraordinary Situation": Speaker Defends MK Stalin
NDTV
MK Stalin's bold resolution has established the Governor's role across India, the Speaker said in the Tamil Nadu assembly.
Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi was today blamed in the state assembly for "creating an extraordinary situation" when he went off-script while reading out the speech traditionally prepared by the state government.
On Monday, the Governor walked out of the assembly in an unprecedented show of protest after Chief Minister MK Stalin moved a resolution asking the Speaker to take on record only parts of his speech that were approved by the state government.
Speaker M Appavu today justified allowing the Chief Minister to move the resolution.
"The Governor created an extraordinary situation in the assembly. Chief Minister Stalin's bold resolution has established the Governor's role across India," Mr Appavu said as members of the opposition AIADMK protested against what they called Mr Stalin's overreach.
