As the government refused to take up the call attention motion on the arrest and humiliation of an aged and senior physician, moved by the DMK for debate in the Assembly, the Party decided to boycott proceedings of the House on April 2.
Speaking to reporters after boycotting the House, DMK legislative party leader Thalapathi M K Stalin said the call attention motion given by the party was not taken up on two days. The rulers had made wild charges against 70-year old physician Dr. N.Karunanidhi, filed cases, lodged him in Puzhal prison and now he had come out on bail. He is also the family doctor of Sivanthi Adityan, proprietor of ‘Daily Thanthi’ daily, who was admitted in the ICU of Apollo Specialty Hospital in Chennai. It is common knowledge that visitors to patients should not enter into the ICU with footwear. When Jayalalitha went to that hospital to visit Sivanthi Adityan, the doctor had reminded the Assistants of the CM about the rule, which had angered her. Following this incident he was arrested, cases filed, remanded and lodged in prison overnight. The TN Chapter of Indian Medical Association and All India Medical Council had condemned this action and had announced a demonstration in front of Chennai Collectorate on April 6, but the police had not given permission for it. the Party had asked for a debate on this tense situation but permission not given for two days. The boycott was also to protest the suspension of two DMK legislators, he added.
