Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Assembly today witnessed uproar with the opposition CPM-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) disrupting the proceedings demanding resignation of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy over former minister KB Ganesh Kumar's resignation following charges of domestic violence.
The slogan shouting LDF members trooped into the well of the House accusing Mr Chandy of shielding Mr Kumar and not acting on the complaint by Yamini Thankachy, the wife of the former minister.
As the opposition kept up the protest demanding that the submission of its leader VS Achuthanandan on the issue be taken up as the first item in the Zero Hour, Speaker G Karthikeyan asked the government to rush through the agenda and adjourned the House ahead of the day's schedule for the second consecutive day.
During the Question Hour itself, the LDF members had come to the House wielding placards alleging that Mr Chandy deceives Mr Kumar's wife, who was a victim of domestic violence by ignoring her complaint.
After the Speaker refused to accept the demand, the opposition members started protesting vehemently forcing the proceedings to be adjourned.
The Speaker, however, stood firm by his decision that the submission would not be given precedence by skipping the calling attention as that went against the rules and precedents of the House.
