DMDK today staged a walkout in the Tamil Nadu Assembly after the Speaker denied them permission to raise an issue in the House.

Soon after Chief Minister Jayalalithaa made some suo motu announcements, the members of the main Opposition party sought permission from Speaker P Dhanapal to speak on some issue.

However, he denied the DMDK legislators permission, prompting them to reiterate their demand.

When the Speaker did not relent, the MLAs staged a walkout.
