Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar has issued notices to four MLAs who resigned their posts, directing them to submit an explanation within seven days.

The MLAs named in the notice are Maragatham Kumaravel (Madurantakam), Isakki Subbiah (Ambasamudram), Jayakumar (Perundurai) and Sathyabama (Dharapuram). They were elected on the AIADMK ticket in the Assembly elections.

According to the report, the four legislators voted in favour of the government led by Vijay during a confidence motion in the Assembly. Subsequently, they resigned as MLAs and joined TVK.

Following their vote and later switch, the AIADMK submitted a notice to the Speaker seeking action against them. In response, the Speaker has now sought their explanations regarding the resignations, with a seven-day deadline.
