Hello
Thiruvananthapuram museum police registered the case against the opposition MLAs over a complaint filed by a woman watch-and-ward staff.
E Chandrasekharan referred to the attack on him by RSS-BJP workers in 2016 and how the Court later let the perpetrators off the hook for want of evidence.
The House, which should have sat for nearly 30 days has now disbanded after 21 days, nearly half of which were turbulent.
Oppn Leader VD Satheesan said the 'satyagraha' would continue till their 2 demands - namely, an assurance on adjournment motions and the withdrawal of 'fake' cases against 7 UDF MLAs - were met.
Though Speaker A N Shamseer reprimanded the UDF for what he called a "series of avoidable events", the Speaker gave a firm assurance on an issue that has been troubling the Opposition the most.
In the last two days, when the Opposition had created trouble, the Speaker had rushed through the proceedings and wound up the day within 15 minutes of the start.
The Secretary is expected to take the final decision on granting permission after discussing with Speaker A N Shamseer.
The Vadakara MLA was seen with a plastered hand hours after the scuffle in front of the Speaker's office on March 15 between the legislators of the LDF and the Opposition.
It looked like anyone could come up with one's own version of what happened and get away with it. It will work fine till one side finds that one of its versions has been contradicted by another from its own stable.
As Rema suffered a fracture on her hand, LDF MLA should be booked under a non-bailable offence.
