The third day of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly session witnessed fresh protests from the opposition AIADMK, as its MLAs attended the proceedings wearing badges that read “Protect Your Kidneys,” in reference to the ongoing kidney theft controversy in the state.
The Assembly session, which began on 14 October 2025, has already seen repeated confrontations between the ruling DMK and the AIADMK. On the second day yesterday, AIADMK members had worn black badges to condemn both the Karur stampede incident and the alleged kidney theft case. This led to heated exchanges between ruling and opposition benches. The situation escalated when AIADMK MLAs sat on the floor of the House in protest, prompting both AIADMK and BJP members to stage a walkout.
As the House reconvened today for the third day, it was announced that seven bills were expected to be tabled during the day’s proceedings. However, the opposition continued its symbolic protest, with AIADMK legislators arriving wearing “Protect Your Kidneys” badges as a mark of condemnation against what they called government negligence in handling the kidney theft issue.
Adding to the day’s developments, three MLAs aligned with PMK leader Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss attended the session dressed in black shirts, also signaling dissent. Their attire was seen as an expression of solidarity with public outrage over the kidney trafficking controversy.
Despite the planned legislative business, the opposition’s continued protests ensured that the kidney theft issue remained a dominant theme inside the Assembly.
