Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] legislator M.M. Mani on Wednesday told the Assembly that he recanted the controversial comment on Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) leader and legislator K.K. Rema.
Speaker M.B. Rajesh's arguably damning ruling on the point of order raised by Congress legislator Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan prompted Mr. Mani to disavow his contentious statement.
Mr. Mani said: “I meant no offence. I did not intend to cause insult. But as a communist, I should not have said that Ms. Rema’s widowhood was her fate. I should have avoided the word. I withdraw my comment.”
