UDF convener M.M. Hassan accused Speaker A.N. Shamseer of violating to all norms to prevent any discussion on the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) inquiry into the now dormant IT company owned by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter
United Democratic Front (UDF) convener M.M. Hassan on Saturday accused Speaker A.N. Shamseer of violating to all norms to prevent any discussion on the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) inquiry into the now dormant IT company owned by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter, T Veena. In a statement on Saturday, he said a notice for adjournment motion is usually declined only after a reply from the Chief Minister. But the Speaker did not follow that precedent on this issue.
He said the Chief Minister should have presented the resolution against the Union government. However, he had stayed away from the House as he was afraid to answer the allegations against his daughter’s company. The Chief Minister’s refusal to respond to the allegations is undemocratic. Mr. Vijayan has no legal and moral authority to continue as Chief Minister and should resign, said Mr.Hassan.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
