Tamil Nadu's Unholy Mess: When Politics Trumps Democracy The recent ruckus in the Tamil Nadu assembly over Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's remarks has left many wondering if the ruling party is more concerned with saving face than upholding democratic norms.
The controversy centers around Vijay's comments on several high profile cases, including those involving former CM M Karunanidhi and late Union Minister Murasoli Maran.
DMK MLAs were understandably upset when Speaker J C D Prabhakar refused to expunge the remarks, ruling that Vijay had merely cited the Sarkaria Commission report.
