DMK working president MK Stalin led his MLAs to protest before the Raj Bhavan.
Unruly Opposition members had been demanding secret ballot, which Speaker P Dhanapal rejected.
The Speaker had ordered eviction of the DMK MLAs for the trouble and destruction they indulged in creating a bedlam, failed to get it executed.
