But, it provides an opportunity to the opposition to corner the Stalin government on the Karur stampede following the Supreme Court ordering a CBI investigation monitored by a panel headed by a retired apex court judge. Also, the law and order situation and the rise of honour killings would be raised.

The House is expected to pass a resolution condemning the Gaza genocide carried out by Israel as promised by Chief Minister Stalin while addressing a rally organised last week by the DMK’s ally, the CPI(M). He had called for a ceasefire and pressed the Union Government to take steps together with other countries to put an end to the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe since India had been at the forefront of supporting Palestine for long.
With assembly elections expected early next year, the Chief Minister might announce new schemes and programmes.
The death of 24 children in Madhya Pradesh after being administered the killer cough syrup Coldrif as well as the illegal kidney racket in Namakkal and other places which rocked the state are also expected to be raised. While Sresan Pharma, the manufacturers of Coldrif, has its production facility near Chennai, a private hospital in Namakkal linked to the kidney racket is said to be owned by a DMK legislator.
The Supreme Court has upheld the order of Madras High Court’s Madurai Bench constituting a SIT into the kidney racket.
