Thiruvananthapuram: The UDF Opposition has alleged that the over-1,000-page Solar Judicial Commission probe report was edited after it was submitted by Justice G. Sivarajan (retd) to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
Vijayan on Thursday tabled the full text of the report at a special session of the state Assembly on Thursday.
Soon after Vijayan finished his speech, Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala said that reports have surfaced that after Sivarajan submitted his report, a person was sent to the retired judge again, which should not have happened.
"This report is based on what Saritha Nair has said and you (Vijayan) are using this to settle political scores against a tall leader like Chandy, whose track record is impeccable and one who has carried himself in a dignified manner as a legislator for almost 50 years," said Chennithala.
After the 50-minute session, the opposition leaders got together at the official residence of Chennithala to tackle the fresh developments.
According to sources in the know of things, the Congress opposition is all set to challenge the report in the court.
This is the first time in the history of the assembly that a special session was called to table a Judicial Commission probe report.
So far, all the 134 previous judicial probes were tabled in the course of regular assembly sessions.
