Assembly vandalism case: Kerala Education Minister’s plea rejected

With a court here on Wednesday dismissed the discharge petition filed by State Education Minister V Sivankutty and another legislator besides four other former legislators in the assembly vandalism case which took place in 2015, in all likelihood, it could be curtains for the Minister.

The court will read out the charges against these accused on Nov 22 and has asked all the six accused to appear before it on that day.

Incidentally ever since the apex court in July this year dismissed the plea of the Kerala govt to withdraw the cases against their leaders for vandalism of the Assembly in 2015 when the party was in the Opposition, the Congress-led opposition has been demanding he quit at the earliest.

The apex court ruled then that all the accused have to face trial and now with the court here also dismissing their discharge petition, it remains to be seen if he will continue in office.
