Speaker R. Avudaiyappan ordered the eviction following a request from Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi who said raising slogans inside the House was "uncultured".

It all started after the Question Hour when the AIADMK members demanded that the House adopt a resolution urging India to file a case against Sri Lanka in the International Court of Justice in view of allegations that many Tamils were killed during the military offensive against the LTTE.

As the Speaker rejected their demand and wanted to proceed with the listed business, the AIADMK members stood up and raised slogans demanding passage of the resolution, reported the PTI.

At this point, Karunanidhi intervened and said raising slogans inside the House was "uncultured," and requested the Speaker to evict them.
