Turmoil and outrage reigned over the Assembly on Monday as the Opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) legislators staged a raucous protest against the ‘CPI(M)-sponsored SFI attack’ on the regional office of Rahul Gandhi, MP, in Wayanad.
As soon as Speaker M.B. Rajesh stepped up to the rostrum, Opposition MLAs carrying banners denouncing the attack trooped into the well of the House.
They chanted slogans blaming Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for the violence in Wayanad and alleged that he had orchestrated the attack to divert public attention from the gold smuggling scandal plaguing the administration.
