The Legislative Assembly rejected MLA Mathew Kuzhalnadan’s infringement notice against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Mathew Kuzhalnadan issued a notice of violation of rights by alleging that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan misled the House in the mentor controversy (Jaik Balakumar not mentor of Veena Vijayan).
Jake Balakumar is not the Chief Minister’s daughter’s mentor. The infringement notice was rejected on the grounds that he was the mentor of his daughter’s company. The House informed that the Chief Minister’s response has been examined.
Jake Balakumar is the mentor of the Chief Minister’s daughter’s company. Not the Chief Minister’s daughter’s mentor. Kuzhalnad’s statement concealed this difference. The Speaker said that the Chief Minister has not violated the rights of Kuzhalnadu.

Mathew Kuzhalnadan raised the issue that Veena Vijayan has claimed PwC director Jake Balakumar as her mentor on the Exalogic company website of Chief Minister’s daughter Veena Vijayan during the emergency resolution discussion held in the Assembly. But the chief minister’s reply was that his daughter had not said any such thing. The Chief Minister angrily said that what Mathew Kuzhalnadan is saying is a big lie.
The very next day, Kuzhalnadan established that he was right, explaining that Exalogic’s website included archives. Then Mathew Kuzhalnadan issued a notice of violation of rights by showing that the Chief Minister had misled the House.
