CM Vijay Helps DMK MLA to His Feet During Assembly Walkout

Amid a tense scene in the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Monday, Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay's gesture towards a DMK MLA stood out as a moment of compassion, drawing appreciation from members present in the House. 

The incident took place after DMK MLAs staged a dharna on the floor in front of the Speaker, demanding an opportunity to respond to Chief Minister Vijay's speech. With the Speaker not allowing them to speak, the DMK members decided to walk out of the Assembly.

However, Thiruvaiyaru DMK MLA Durai Chandrasekhar



remained seated and did not immediately join the walkout. Chief Minister Vijay, who was seated nearby, noticed Chandrasekhar and asked him why he was not leaving with the other members. 

When the MLA replied that he was unable to get up, Vijay responded with surprise, asking, "What do you mean you can't get up?" Vijay then immediately rose from his seat, extended his hand and helped Chandrasekhar get up. 

After standing, the DMK MLA thanked the Chief Minister with folded hands before walking out of the Assembly.
