Political wrangling over the T P Senkumar case echoed in the Assembly for the second consecutive day today as the Opposition flayed the ruling LDF over the delay in implementing the Supreme Court order, reinstating him as DGP (Law and Order). The Opposition had staged a walkout yesterday over the issue notwithstanding the CM's assurance that the government was committed to implement the apex court order. The order to reinstate Senkumar as DGP (law and order) has been seen as a setback to the CPI(M)-led LDF government. Opposition Congress-led UDF and BJP had yesterday alleged the state government was deliberately trying to delay the appointment of Senkumar. The Supreme Court on April 24 ordered reinstatement of Senkumar, saying he was transferred by the ruling LDF government "unfairly" and "arbitrarily".
