CPI(M) MLA files privilege notice against Kerala Opposition Leader

A CPI(M) lawmaker named V Joy has filed a formal complaint against the Leader of Opposition, V D Satheesan, in the Kerala state assembly.

Joy says Satheesan made rude comments about Labour Minister V Sivankutty and other ministers from the Left party.

This is the first time such a complaint has been filed against an opposition leader in Kerala.

Satheesan had earlier expressed hurt over Sivankutty's comments about Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, whom Satheesan respects.

He offered to withdraw his remarks if Sivankutty apologizes.

Joy wants the assembly speaker to take action against Satheesan for his behavior.
