Sabarimala Gold Probe Sparks UDF Protest in Assembly

Chaos erupted in the Kerala Assembly as the Congress-led UDF accused the Chief Minister's office of meddling in the Sabarimala gold loss investigation. Opposition disrupted proceedings, alleging bias and interference, while demanding transparency. As tensions escalated, dramatic protests ensued, resulting in adjournments and heightened political rhetoric.

In a dramatic twist in the Kerala Assembly, the Congress-led UDF vehemently accused the Chief Minister's office of interference in the investigation of the Sabarimala gold loss cases. The opposition disrupted the proceedings, refusing to cooperate any further, citing bias in the probe conducted by the Special Investigation Team (SIT).

Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan informed the Speaker about their decision to escalate protests. Amidst question hour, Congress MLA Anwar Sadath attempted to climb onto the Speaker's dais, prompting a brief adjournment. Upon resumption, state Law Minister P Rajeev accused the opposition of subverting the investigation, further fueling tensions.

As protest continued, Health Minister Veena George criticized the UDF for their disruptive tactics. The opposition's aggression followed a vigilance court's decision to grant bail to key figures in the case. The situation remains volatile as both sides stand firm amid calls for transparency and accountability in the high-profile investigation.
