The upcoming session of the Kerala Assembly, starting September 15, has become a focal point due to allegations against Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil. Despite facing multiple charges of sexual misconduct, prominent Congress leaders are advocating for his participation.
Mamkootathil, who has been suspended from Congress, faces calls from CPI(M) and BJP to resign his MLA position. However, Congress leader K Muraleedharan argues there is no legal restriction on his attendance, given the absence of formal complaints or arrests.
The political atmosphere remains tense, with Congress sources suggesting that any attempt by ruling coalition members to intimidate Mamkootathil will be met with resistance. The session is expected to see intense political drama, reflecting larger issues of governance and accountability within the state.
