Will continue protest demanding resignation of Devaswom Minister: UDF

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: (Jan 27) The Congress-led UDF opposition on Tuesday told the Kerala assembly that it was continuing its protest demanding the resignation of state Devaswom Minister V N Vasavan in connection with the Sabarimala gold loss case, but will cooperate with the House proceedings.

Leader of Opposition in the state assembly, V D Satheesan, said that as part of the protest, two UDF MLAs -- Najeeb Kanthapuram and C R Mahesh -- would be on 'satyagraha' outside the doors of the House.

Responding to the opposition leader's statement, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that since the Sabarimala gold loss case probe is being monitored by the Kerala High Court, the UDF protest can only be seen as an agitation against the court and not the assembly.
