Heated Assembly Likely as Oppn Gears up to Corner Vijayan Govt at Final Session from Tomorrow

Sparks are expected to fly in the final session of the present Kerala Assembly commencing on Friday with the opposition Congress-led UDF set to attack the CPI-led Left Front government on various issues including corruption allegations. The opposition Congress-led United Democratic Front will ensure that the final session will not be a cakewalk for the LDF and will hit out at the government on various issues, including the gold smuggling case in which M Sivasankar, former Principal Secretary of Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, now under suspension, is among the accused. Quoting the Assembly Rules of Procedure, he said the Speaker’s nod was required to take any legal action against any person within the Legislative Assembly complex. Sreeramakrishnan also justified the recent letter sent by Assembly Secretary SV Unnikrishnan Nair to the Customs Department stating the Speaker’s consent was required for quizzing someone who comes under the Assembly Secretariat.
