The DMK had announced it would boycott the ongoing budget session of the state assembly, which started on May 29, until the Sterlite copper unit in Tuticorin was "permanently shut."

On May 29, blaming the state government for not holding talks with the people and seeking the resignation of Chief Minister K Palaniswami, DMK Working President MK Stalin, had said his party will boycott the House proceedings till Sterlite plant was "permanently closed."
