Opposition walks out of the House, demanding that Govt. explain deceit to people
The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF Opposition walked out of the Assembly on Wednesday, holding Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan responsible for the sanction accorded to Tamil Nadu on November 5 to fell trees to strengthen the baby dam at Mullaperiyar.
Moving a submission in the House, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan said Mr. Vijayan had, at a stroke, scuttled Kerala's chances for a new dam at Mullaperiyar.
He said the “self-defeating” Forest Department order ran against the grain of the State’s contention in the Supreme Court that Central sanction was required to fell trees in the Periyar Tiger Reserve and Tamil Nadu had not submitted the mandatory clearances.
