The Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) staged a walkout from the Keralam Legislative Assembly on Monday after Speaker Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan disallowed its notice for an adjournment motion on the alleged attack by Youth Congress workers on the University Youth Hostel on September 30 and the subsequent police action. The Speaker declined to admit the adjournment motion based on Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala’s statement.

The House witnessed dramatic scenes as CPI(M) MLA V. Joy, who along with CPI MLA K. Rajan and RJD MLA P.K. Praveen moved the motion, held up the broken end of a baton which was allegedly used by the police to beat the students at the Youth Hostel. The Speaker directed the Watch and Ward to collect the baton for examination. LDF MLAs held up images of the police action and the injured students as Mr. Joy spoke.
