Kerala Speaker Defends Actions Amid Minister's Injury Controversy

Kerala Speaker A N Shamseer on Monday addressed accusations following the controversial incident involving Health Minister Veena George, who reportedly suffered injuries during a protest at Kannur Railway Station.

Shamseer clarified that he acted responsibly by ensuring George received medical attention, despite police investigations finding no evidence of a weapon being used.

Five KSU activists were arrested and charged with attempted murder, but subsequent findings and the Speaker's statements have sparked a broader debate on the appropriateness of protests and party politics in Kerala.
