The Madras High Court reprimanded AIADMK MP C.Ve. Shanmugam for using "unparliamentary" language against CM M.K. Stalin and other government officials. However, the case against him was quashed as the police had filed it under incorrect legal provisions. The judge stated that while Shanmugam's language was not appropriate for a member of parliament, it did not constitute the offences for which he was charged. The incident occurred during a token fast organized by the AIADMK party, where Shanmugam had made comments about the state government's inaction.
