Overview

• Roji M. John, M. Vincent and Saneesh Kumar Joseph were suspended for the rest of the session after confrontations during protests over alleged irregularities at Sabarimala.
• Parliamentary Affairs Minister M.B. Rajesh cited injuries to the chief marshal in the scuffle, a claim Congress leaders rejected as fabricated and politically staged.
• The Speaker adjourned the House sine die following days of disruptions, with the Opposition boycotting proceedings over demands for the Devaswom Minister’s resignation and TDB action.
• The controversy stems from court-flagged discrepancies in the Dwarapalaka coverings, including repairs sent to Chennai without notice and an earlier unexplained weight shortfall of about 4.5 kg.
• Former Devaswom Minister Kadakampally Surendran served a libel notice on LoP V.D. Satheesan, as Congress’s K.C. Venugopal announced protests across South Indian states and pressed for a High Court‑monitored CBI inquiry alongside ongoing court‑ordered checks.
