DMK Lok Sabha MP Kanimozhi has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking a change in seating arrangements for DMK MPs in the House following the collapse of the party’s alliance with the Congress in Tamil Nadu.
In her letter, Kanimozhi said that “in view of the changed political circumstances” and the end of the DMK-Congress alliance, it would not be appropriate for DMK members to continue sitting alongside Congress MPs in the Lok Sabha.
She requested that separate seating be allotted for the DMK Parliamentary Party to enable its members to discharge their responsibilities effectively.
The move comes amid shifting political equations in Tamil Nadu after the Assembly elections, in which the TVK emerged as the single largest party. Congress has since extended support to TVK, ending its long-standing alliance with the DMK.
