Overview
- The Assembly's live broadcast continued through a debate on a Mekedatu-related resolution but was stopped once discussion on the Governor’s Address began, according to opposition reports.
- Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin wrote to Speaker J. C. D. Prabhakar and said the interruption defeated the session's purpose while accusing the government of releasing edited clips that favour the ruling party.
- Senior BJP leader H. Raja publicly alleged the telecast was halted to shield Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay from unscripted questioning and said the move broke an election promise of full live telecasts.
- The ruling TVK government had not issued a direct response to the opposition's charges in the available coverage, leaving the Speaker as the immediate point of appeal for restoring live access.
- The dispute raises wider transparency concerns because the government had earlier said live telecasts were resumed after a prior blackout and the upcoming motion-of-thanks debate will test whether unedited public coverage is guaranteed.
