Left independent MLA P. V. Anwar’s accusation that he had documents to prove that Leader of the Opposition V. D. Satheesan lorded over a Ponzi scheme that spanned India and the Gulf led to a heated exchange between the ruling front and the Opposition in the Assembly during the discussion on the Waqf Board Bill.
Mr. Satheesan was not in the House at the time. Mr. Anwar challenged Mr. Satheesan to deny that the latter had not enrolled persons in the “money chain” scheme. Mr. Anwar had raised a similar allegation on social media earlier.
The Opposition benches erupted in protest. The ruling front members rose in protest against a reference made by Congress legislator K. Babu. Mr. Babu later withdrew the remark.
