VS, women MLAs meet Governor

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan asked Chief Minister Oommen Chandy whether he is not ashamed to say that the opposition LDF used women as ‘suicide bombers’. Those of the same opinion should read the autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhiji had stated that men and women are equal.

Talking to reporters after meeting the governor along with women MLAs, VS said that he has requested him to direct the government to register a case against ruling MLAs.

Didn’t Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi lead a march to the Rashtrapathi Bhavan and to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s house supporting him in the coal case? Do we call them suicide bombers? Some want Priyanka Gandhi to replace Rahul Gandhi and should we address her as a suicide bomber. The concern of the chief minister towards Saritha S Nair, accused in the solar case, was not seen in the case of the women MLAs, he said.

The opposition had requested the governor to give directions to the government and the police to register criminal case for attacking the women MLAs. The act of the speaker not handing over the compliant to the police was wrong. The governor has assured to take legal steps on it, he said.
