They had been given time till March 8 to give their explanations, the Speaker said.
A week ago, AIADMK whip K.A. Sengottaiyan submitted two petitions to the Speaker, saying that the two MLAs had voluntarily given up the membership of the AIADMK and defected to the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam by participating in the general council meeting [on February 20], which was chaired by DMK president and Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi.
Separately, the two MLAs, last month, met the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister M.K.Stalin.
