Leader of the Opposition V. D. Satheesan on Thursday alleged that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had misled the Assembly during Tuesday's adjournment debate on the "damning" accusations raised against the latter and his family by UAE diplomatic baggage gold smuggling case accused Swapna Suresh.
Mr. Satheesan said the Opposition would move Speaker M. B. Rajesh to initiate breach of privilege proceedings against Mr. Vijayan on two counts.
Firstly, Mr. Satheesan alleged that Mr. Vijayan had flip-flopped on his statement that he had misused the UAE Consulate's diplomatic channel to send and receive goods without scrutiny of the Customs.
