Ramya scuffle: Congress suspends legislator’s staffer & local leader
The panel found the two guilty of serious breach of discipline after hearing 14 party leaders and speaking to Ramya Haridas by phone.
- On Sunday, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president Sunny Joseph suspended Palayam Pradeep and S Sajad from primary membership following an inquiry into a scuffle involving Chirayinkeezhu MLA Ramya Haridas.
- A three-member panel led by Hassan found both guilty of "serious breach of organisational discipline" after interviewing 14 local leaders, though Ramya did not attend the meeting.
- KPCC general secretaries Neyyattinkara Sanal and Remani Nair served on the investigating panel, as Congress leaders emphasized resolving internal disagreements without legal proceedings that could damage the party.
- On Monday, the legislator's personal assistant submitted a letter to the Speaker's office seeking Pradeep's appointment as additional private secretary, but was redirected to the Assembly Secretary.
- Because the Assembly Secretary was on leave, the letter must be resubmitted; the Secretary must technically accept the name if insisted upon, though questions remain about appointing a suspended member.
