THIRUVANANTHAPURAM [Maha Media]: The ninth session of the 15th Kerala Legislative Assembly commenced on Monday here with Speaker A N Shamseer, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and various other legislators paying tributes to former CM Oommen Chandy and Congress veteran Vakkom Purushothaman, both of whom died last month.
Both Shamseer, Vijayan and various other legislators, including Leader of Opposition in the state assembly V D Satheesan recalled the respective contributions of Chandy and Purushothaman in the political sphere of the state and how with their demise, an important chapter in Kerala politics has come to an end.
After paying tributes to the two veteran leaders, the House concluded for the day and will resume on Tuesday.
During its 10-day long sitting, the House would consider various bills, including the one to substitute the ordinance issued by the government for the safety and security of those working in the healthcare sector.
The House is also likely to witness heated discussions, debates and even protests on a variety of issues concerning the Left administration, including the financial crisis the state is in.
The controversial remarks by Speaker A N Shamseer, the police action over a brief malfunctioning of a microphone when Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan was speaking at an event and the government's stand towards the media are also expected to be points of contention in the House.
The session will conclude on August 23.
