Tamil Nadu: MK Stalin arrested following agitation

Chennai, Feb 18 (IBNS): Tamil Nadu opposition leader MK Stalin was arrested by Chennai Police following agitation by the lawmaker and his men after chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami's win in the floor test, reports said.

Earlier, in a ruckus marred day, Stalin stole the lime light as he led his brigade to a rampage plunging the Assembly into a chaos and lawlessness.

They were finally evicted by marshals and police following an order by the Speaker, but Stalin alleged that he was attacked.

He led his MLAs to the Raj Bhavan and met Governor C Vidyasagar Rao to lodge a complaint about the democracy being "murdered."

He was arrested from Marina Beach, where he sat on a hunger strike in front of the Gandhi statue.

Following Stalin's arrest, violence swept across the state as DMK workers protested the move from police.

Angry workers also burned effigy of Speaker P Dhanapal in several parts of the state.
