DMK MLA Markandayan G V criticized the Tamil Nadu Assembly and Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay at a public gathering on July 18. The video of his speech sparked controversy, leading to a registered complaint and Markandayan's arrest. Upon bail, he returned to the Assembly on Friday. Assembly Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar invited Markandayan to address the remarks.
Prabhakar later announced that he would refer the matter to the House Privileges Committee, citing the remarks as "distressing" and "regrettable." The Speaker noted that Markandayan had since apologized and requested the Assembly to forget his words.
