The Kerala Legislative Assembly on Tuesday (February 3, 2026) witnessed pandemonium once again over the Sabarimala gold theft row, even as the Opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) members stormed the Speaker’s dais. Speaker A.N. Shamseer halted the proceedings twice as the Opposition’s protests intensified.
As soon as the Question Hour began, the Assembly witnessed acrimonious scenes when Opposition MLAs stormed the well of the House and blocked the view of the Speaker by raising banners and placards, demanding the resignation of Devaswom Minister V.N. Vasavan in connection with the Sabarimala gold case, along with other demands. Midway through the protest, legislators Anwar Sadat and T.V. Ibrahim attempted to storm the Speaker’s dais by breaking the cordon of the Watch and Ward guards.
