Former minister and Communist Party of India (CPI(M) legislator M. M. Mani's comments against Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) MLA K. K. Rema roiled the Kerala Legislative Assembly for a second straight day on Friday.
On Thursday, Ms. Rema’s speech criticising Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s law enforcement policy apparently provoked Mr. Mani. He countered her speech by saying: “A lady had spoken against the CM and the LDF government. She is a widow. It is her fate. We are not responsible.”
On Friday, UDF legislators trooped into the well of the House. They mobbed the Speaker's rostrum condemning Mr. Mani and demanding an apology from the government.
