The House informs that the Prime Minister’s response has been examined. Jake Balakumar is the business mentor to the Prime Minister’s daughter. He’s not the Prime Minister’s daughter’s mentor. The speaker said that Kuzhalnadu’s statement had concealed this difference and that the Chief Minister had not violated Kuzhalnadu’s right.
The president requested Prime Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s response on the mentor controversy. Mathew Kuzhalnadan filed an infringement notice against the Chief Minister under Rule 154 of the Legislative Assembly’s Rules of Procedure.
Mathew Kuzhalnadan raised the issue that Veena Vijayan claimed PwC director Jake Balakumar as her mentor on Prime Minister Veena Vijayan’s daughter’s company Exalogic website during the emergency resolution discussion held in the House. But the prime minister’s response was that his daughter had said no such thing. The Prime Minister angrily said that what Mathew Kuzhalnadan is saying is a big lie.
The next day, Kuzhalnadan ruled that he was right, explaining that Exalogic’s website included archives. Therefore, Kuzhalnadan filed the infringement notice proving that the Prime Minister had misled the House.
