Jaya calls for new microphones so that 'men can talk like men'

[1]

Tamil Nadu Assembly on Tuesday witnessed some light moments when Chief Minister J. Jayalalitha told the Speaker that the microphones attached on members' desk were non-adjustable and they should be replaced so that ‘men could talk like men’.

Intervening during the question hour when Electricity Minister R.Viswanathan was making a reply, Jayalalitha told the Speaker D Jayakumar that the microphones were not adjustable.

"It is ok for others. But the Electricity Minister is a tall man and he has to bend over to talk on the microphone. So is the case with some others too. Men should talk like men," (standing tall) she said to peels of laughter and loud thumping of benches by the AIADMK members.

A smiling Jayakumar said he will look into the matter and take action.
