The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) alliance seconded an adjournment motion moved by the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) to discuss a purported Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court filing that allegedly pointed to a government-level conspiracy in 2021 to falsely implicate the late Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in a sexual misconduct case involving the prime suspect, a woman, in the 2016 solar investment fraud case.
Speaker A. N. Shamsheer ruled that the House would suspend scheduled business for two hours from 1 a.m. to 3 p.m. to discuss the motion moved by Congress legislator Shafi Parambil.
The somewhat unexpected move by treasury benches came minutes after Mr. Shamsheer swore in Chandy Oommen, son and political heir of Chandy, as the legislator representing the Puthuppally Assembly constituency held for 53 years by the departed leader.
