Anbalagan, AIADMK member caused flutter in the Assembly during zero hour today when he placed on the table of the House a heap of raffle tickets to bring to the notice of the government that despite the ban on sale of the raffle tickets, selling of such tickets was going on with full impunity in and around the town limits.
