Protest against George in assembly

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:  Some unruly scenes were witnessed in the assembly against Chief Whip P C George for his derogatory statements against K R Gowri Amma and T V Thomas.  

The opposition came to the assembly carrying placards seeking the ouster of George. Amidst the uproar, V S Sunil Kumar of the CPI removed his shoes and showed it to George.

Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan said George is ridiculing veteran leaders and is continuing with it. VS said his party is not controlling him and the chief minister is least bothered about the incident.

Ridiculing leaders respected by the state cannot be accepted, said Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. I’ve said this before also, he said.

P C George got up and apologized for his statements. He said the statements recorded secretly using a hidden camera were aired by a cheap channel
