Cannot address Chief Minister Jayalalithaa by name inside Assembly, rules Tamil Nadu Speaker

The proceedings in the Tamil Nadu Assembly proceedings were brought to a halt yesterday when angry MLAs from the opposition DMK walked out of the House against a ruling by Speaker P Dhanapal. The ruckus started when AIADMK Tiruttani MLA PM Narasiman called DMK chief M Karunanidhi by his name, prompting DMK MLAs to protest against calling their party chief by name. When the MLAs asked the Speaker to clear the air whether it was okay to call a former CM by his name, the Chair said that “there was no problem in calling a former chief minister by his name”. The Speaker’s observation irked the DMK MLAs who raised slogans and condemned Narasiman for addressing Karunanidhi by his name inside the Assembly.
