The government has full faith in the office of the advocate general. It has been functioning efficiently and that is why I am justifying the AG. The chief minister indirectly criticized high court judge Alexander Thomas for levelling the criticism.  One should not forget the glory and responsibility of the post availed, the chief minister added. Following chief minister’s reply, the speaker denied permission for the motion and the opposition staged a walk out. 
Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan said the high court’s observation is a slap on the face of the Chandy government.
Mathew T Thomas, who sought permission for the motion, said the criticism against the AG is serious. What is the relation between the chief minister and the AG outside constitution, asked Thomas?
