Protests have broken out in Kerala against the suspension of 3 government employees who posted comments against Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on their Facebook account.
The comments posted by the employees were in connection with the solar panel scam that has rocked the Chandy government.
In a major embarrassment, Chandy's former personal assistant was arrested in connection with the scam.
The suspension of the government employees sparked massive protests led by the Left supported government staff associations.
The opposition has been demanding resignation of the chief minister and a judicial probe into the scam saying Chandy was directly involved in the scam in which a large number of people were duped of millions with the promise of solar panels and agencies.
