Ruckus in Kerala Assembly 'Sabarimala Gold Loss'

The Congress-led UDF on Thursday disrupted the Kerala assembly proceedings by demanding the resignation of state Devaswom Minister V N Vasavan over the Sabarimala gold loss issue.

As the House proceedings commenced after obituary references and naming of the chairpersons panel, Leader of Opposition in the state assembly V D Satheesan told Speaker A N Shamseer that the UDF was still in protest over the Sabarimala gold loss



issue.

He said that when the last session ended, the opposition had boycotted the House over the issue and the protest demanding Vasavan's resignation was still continuing. 

"Therefore, we will not be able to cooperate with the House proceedings," he said as opposition MLAs trooped into the well of the House holding up placards and a banner in front the Speaker's dais, accusing the CPI(M) of "looting" the Sabarimala shrine.
