People ready to question the behaviour of legislators, says Speaker JCD Prabhakar

Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar emphasized the need for self-restraint and self-regulation among legislators as their proceedings were being broadcast live. He stated that people were prepared to question the behavior of members and would scrutinize those who denigrated the dignity of the House. Prabhakar recalled a conversation with young individuals in Dindigul who expressed interest in politics and sought guidance on maintaining decorum.

He acknowledged that people were closely observing the House's proceedings and would address any improper remarks. The DMK deputy leader, K.N. Nehru, had previously alerted Prabhakar to the issue of expunged remarks on social media, and the Speaker stated he would consider the matter after consulting members. The Speaker announced that elections to various committees, including the Privileges Committee, would be held the following week.

He also clarified that members could not raise issues before the session began unless it was Question Hour or a calling attention motion. Prabhakar urged government officials to provide prompt answers to issues raised by members to prevent misinformation from spreading.
