Speaker M. B. Rajesh has sought Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's response to Congress legislator Mathew Kuzhalnadan's breach of privilege motion.
Mr. Kuzhalnadan based the motion on his allegation that Mr. Vijayan had misled the House when it sought answers about his daughter's business associate, ostensibly to explore whether there was any conflict of interest in certain appointments made by the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.
The Opposition had accused the alleged business associate of Mr. Vijyan's daughter of exercising a say in the appointment of UAE diplomatic baggage gold smuggling case accused, Swapna Suresh, in a public-funded organisation.
