Tensions escalated when Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan challenged the proceedings, accusing Forest Minister Shibu Baby John of overstepping his role by intervening while Fisheries Minister V E Abdul Gafoor attempted to address the house. Vijayan argued that such interference effectively bypassed the primary minister’s authority, triggering a heated standoff that halted normal operations.
Responding to the unrest, Minister Gafoor maintained that the government is actively processing disbursements through the established Savings-cum-Relief Scheme. Chief Minister V D Satheesan later stepped in to calm the assembly, pledging that the state would bridge any funding gaps independently should promised central assistance fail to materialize on schedule.
