Wednesday, November 02, 2011: The LDF meeting convened here
has decided to seek legal redressal against Government Chief Whip PC George for
his casteist remarks against MLA and CPM state secretariat member AK Balan.
The Kerala Congress-M leader on October 27 had made a
casteist remark against A.K Balan at a public meeting in Pathanapuram in Kollam
district. It was the same meeting where Forest Minister K B Ganesh Kumar
(Kerala Congress-B) had fulminated in vulgar language against opposition leader
in Kerala Assembly V S Achuthanandan.
In connection with this the LDF has decided to boycott all
official functions involving PC George and KB Ganesh Kumar. Kumar had earlier
expressed regret over his speech after LDF and its feeder outfits came out in
strong protest over his lewd comments against the 88-year-old CPI(M) leader.
Balan, a former minister and MLA from Taroor (SC) segment in
Palakkad district, said George should publicly apologise for his remarks as it
amounted to creating caste friction.
