Kerala Assembly adjourned after tense stand-off between Opposition and ruling front

The controversy began when Satheesan announced the boycott of question hour, protesting the conversion of 49 starred questions into non-starred ones.

Watch and Ward personnel had to forcibly push MLA Mathew Kuzhalnadan (Congress) away when he tried to enter the Speaker's dias amidst the melee.

A visibly angry CM rose and said blocking the Speaker's sight with banners cannot be allowed in the House at any cost.
