• UDF convenor Adoor Prakash demanded a probe into a CPI(M) MP's alleged links with Unnikrishnan Potty, prime accused in the Sabarimala gold loss case.
• Prakash clarified his photo with Potty and Sonia Gandhi, stating he didn't know Potty was an accused when they met and denied arranging Potty's meeting with Gandhi.
• He alleged a CPI(M) MP, acting as a Left-BJP bridge, contacted Potty multiple times regarding gold removal, urging examination of the MP's phone calls.
• Reports identified the unnamed CPI(M) MP as John Brittas, who vehemently rejected Prakash's "baseless" allegations, calling them a "joke."
• Brittas questioned how Potty could easily meet Sonia Gandhi given her security, accused Prakash of dragging Gandhi into the controversy, and advised Prakash against further blunders.
