Opposition boycotts Kerala Assembly, demands CM to ‘break his silence’

Opposition members had launched protests as soon as the House convened for the Question Hour
The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) Opposition boycotted the Assembly proceedings for the second day in a row, demanding Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to ''break his silence'' on the 'disclosures' against him in the UAE Consulate-linked gold smuggling case. Outside, UDF MLAs went on to organise a ''wall against corruption,'' terming the decision to not discuss the charges against Mr. Vijayan inside the House as undemocratic. The Opposition and the people of the State were anxiously waiting for the Chief Minister to explain, the Leader of Opposition V. D. Satheesan said. He said that the Opposition had decided to take its protests outside the Assembly.
