Opposition protested over denial of notice for adjournment motion
According to reports, the Congress-led Opposition protested after Speaker Shamseer denied permission for an adjournment motion, citing the assault of a minor girl in Thiruvananthapuram a few days ago. This came a day after another adjournment motion regarding the Brahmapuram fire was not taken up. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is yet to comment on the Assembly issue.
