MK must be provided proper seat in House: Stalin

Stalin said the Assembly Secretariat must make proper arrangements to allow the party chief M Karunanidhi to take part in the House proceedings.

When asked whether DMK had requested the government for special seating arrangements for his father, and party chief Karunanidhi, as the latter could not take part in the proceedings in the past because of a lack of proper seating, Stalin said, “Everyone of you saw how our leader came to the House and took oath. The government should take steps to rectify the problem.”
