Kerala Assembly: Opposition protest over Sabarimala gold row rocks House again; MLAs storm Speaker’s dais
The Kerala Legislative Assembly was disrupted on February 3, 2026, by pandemonium over the Sabarimala gold theft case. Opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) members stormed the Speaker's dais demanding the resignation of Devaswom Minister V.N. Vasavan. The Speaker halted proceedings twice as the protest escalated, with some legislators attempting to breach security. The Opposition accused the Chief Minister's Office of interfering in the investigation and alleged that all accused were receiving bail due to weak prosecution. The ruling side countered by pointing to the Opposition's alliance with the accused and accused them of insulting the judiciary for political gain.
