The iconic Thrissur Pooram festival's disruption has sparked intense discussions in the Kerala Assembly. The Congress-led UDF accuses Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan of complicit knowledge, questioning the credibility of any investigation ordered by him.

Allegations of deliberate disruption to aid BJP leader Suresh Gopi's Lok Sabha chances were made. The UDF demands a judicial probe as opposition members argue in favor of an adjournment to discuss the necessity of such an investigation.

The government's three-tier probe is underway, aiming to uncover the truth. However, tensions rise as political dynamics come into play, affecting the iconic festival and raising questions about electoral influence.
