Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 31: Senior Congress legislator Aryadan Muhammad today dared the LDF opposition to come out with a "memorandum" signed by majority of members in the assembly instead of "clamouring" for an assembly session to move a resolution against speaker Vakkom Purushothaman. Muhammad, a staunch A K Antony loayalist, said the government was not constitutionally bound to convene the session to allow the opposition to move its resolution against the speaker, for which notice was given during the inter-session.

"There was no constitutional validity for a notice given for removal of speaker after the house was adjourned," he said.

"If the opposition parties are confident that they are strong enough to vote out the speaker, let them come out with a memorandum signed by majority of members in the house," the Congress leader said. "The LDF's dream of putting an alternative in place after toppling the A K Antony government was not going to materialise," he added. Bureau Report
