Tamil Nadu Assembly: The changing address of power
M.K. Stalin greets the protesting Queen Mary's College students in Chennai on April 8, 2003. The students were protesting against the Jayalalithaa government decision to build a Secretariat complex on the college site.
Covering the Secretariat beat and the Assembly proceedings was traditionally reserved for senior journalists in every newspaper. But at Dinamani, its editor, RmT Sambandam, did not believe in rigid rules. He sent a bunch of rookies, including me, to Fort St. George, known as kottai, which housed the Secretariat, to cover the Assembly proceedings.
