Thiruvananthapuram The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) disrupted the Assembly on Thursday evening accusing CPI(M) legislator M. M. Mani of disparaging K. K. Rema, MLA, and making light of her widowhood and the martyrdom of her husband and Revolutionary Marxist Party leader, T. P. Chandrasekharan who, the Opposition said, “fell to the knives of CPI(M) assassins” at Onchiyam in 2012.
Ms. Rema's speech criticising Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's law enforcement policy apparently provoked Mr. Mani.
Mr. Rema said:" The police are tied down providing security to the CM. His heavily guarded motorcade resembles a travelling national emergency. It is amusing that LDF convener E. P. Jayarajan has compared the untraceable AKG Centre bomb thrower to the infamous 1984 murder-for-insurance case fugitive Sukumara Kurup."
