House to adjourn on Oct 10; speaker says Oppn has requested Rahul be seated separately
THE 14th session of the 15th Kerala Legislative Assembly will commence on Monday. The session will span 12 days until October 10, and will be held in three phases: September 15 to 19, September 29 and 30, and October 6 to 10.
The session is being held at a time when the UDF is on the back foot in the wake of the allegations against Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil, and amid calls for his resignation from the assembly.
Speaker A N Shamseer, who announced the assembly's schedule on Sunday, confirmed receiving a letter from Leader of Opposition V D Satheeshan stating that the Opposition had suspended Rahul from the parliamentary party, and that he should be seated separately.
