THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The fourth session of the 15th legislative assembly began on Friday without the usual camaraderie seen on the first day of the session between members and the governor.
The standoff between the government and governor Arif Mohammed Khan was resolved to ensure a smooth beginning to the session but the opposition UDF staged a strong protest against the governor inside the assembly. UDF members raised "go back" slogans against the governor and later staged a sit-in protest in front of the House after boycotting the proceedings.
