The Kerala Legislative Assembly once again witnessed noisy scenes on Tuesday as the opposition created a ruckus during the Question Hour over the Sabarimala gold plating controversy.

Opposition Leader VD Satheesan said the High Court’s recent observation in the case was “shocking,” noting that the court had found the Dwarapalaka idol was sold at an inflated price and that lakhs of devotees were deceived.

“The Devaswom Board has cheated lakhs of devotees. The Devaswom Minister should resign, and the Board should be dismissed. The government must announce its stand on the issue today,” Satheesan demanded.

As the Speaker AN Shamseer moved on to the Question Hour, opposition MLAs staged a protest in front of his dais, raising banners that obstructed the Speaker’s view.
