THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The gold smuggling case and the revelation of key accused Swapna Suresh that the audio clip absolving the chief minister was fabricated at the behest of M Sivasankar created a ruckus in the assembly. Saving the chief minister from tough questions on Thursday, speaker MB Rajesh denied permission to an adjournment motion and this led to some tense moments in the assembly between the ruling front and the opposition.
Congress MLA Shafi Parambil had sought a leave for adjournment motion to discuss Swapna’s revelation that Sivasankar and the police had conspired to create the audio clip in which she had said that she was pressurized to reveal the CM’s name in the gold smuggling case.
