Breach of Privilege Motion Filed Against Kerala Chief Minister

A significant political development unfolded as Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala filed a breach of privilege motion against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

The motion accused Vijayan of misleading the Assembly with alleged false information regarding police personnel dismissals for serious offences. Chennithala claimed that many dismissals were due to absenteeism rather than serious offences.

Alleging deliberate misinformation, Chennithala sought the Speaker's permission to proceed, highlighting inconsistencies in the Chief Minister's statements about police officers accused of crimes retaining key posts.
