Overview
- Ramesh Chennithala submitted a breach of privilege notice under Rule 154, alleging Pinarayi Vijayan gave false information to the Kerala Assembly on police disciplinary actions.
- He challenges the assertion that 144 officers were dismissed for serious misconduct since 2016 and says the government has not produced a supporting list of names or ranks.
- Chennithala cites National Crime Records Bureau figures indicating fewer than 50 dismissals over the same period, directly contradicting the Chief Minister’s statement.
- He contrasts the LDF record with 61 dismissals he says occurred during the 2011–2016 Oommen Chandy government and demands the CM either table the list or apologize.
- He further claims many recent dismissals involved prolonged absenteeism rather than criminal misconduct and points to past Assembly replies that left key disciplinary data unspecified.
