THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan firmly denies allegations against his daughter Veena and her company in the Legislative Assembly. Vijayan asserts the accusations are false stating his daughter initiated the business using his wife's pension funds.

Addressing the House, Vijayan challenges critics: "You made the accusation. Let's see if people will accept it." He notes a shift from allegations against his wife to now targeting his daughter.

However, the Chief Minister remains silent on the Registrar of Companies' inquiry into his daughter. In the concluding part of the motion of thanks, Vijayan criticizes the Central Government, arguing unconstitutional cuts in Kerala's allocation.

He deems rulers partaking in religious ceremonies a constitutional challenge, likening the current situation to an undeclared emergency. Vijayan also highlights the importance of bills passed by the legislature becoming law and urges the Congress to cease encouraging communal forces.
