In the Tamil Nadu Assembly, the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy, which has resulted in 53 deaths, was a focal point for the second consecutive day. The opposition AIADMK staged a walkout over the issue, demanding a CBI inquiry. In response, the ruling DMK criticized AIADMK for politicizing the matter and emphasized the government's transparency. Law Minister S Regupathy asserted that a CBI inquiry was unnecessary, stating that the government had been forthcoming and had nothing to hide.
