The AIADMK members were seen creating ruckus in the House while protesting against the proposed Mekedatu dam in Karnataka on Cauvery, claiming that it will affect farmers in Tamil Nadu.

Meanwhile, speaking about the suspension M Thambidurai, AIADMK member, said “Now elections are coming, so BJP wants to get some seats there, that is why they gave approval to Karnataka for Mekedatu dam project. Protesting is our democratic right, there has been no response from the government.”
