Opposition leader Mr Satheesan said that a progressive state like Kerala cannot come to a conclusion that widowhood is women's fate.
Do not turn the Kerala Legislative Assembly into a 'Kaurava Sabha' where women are abused, the Congress-led UDF opposition said in the House on Monday and sought that the controversial remarks by CPI(M) legislator M M Mani against a woman MLA be withdrawn from the records.
Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the state assembly V D Satheesan said that they had initially asked Mr Mani to withdraw his remarks and then they had requested Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to direct the CPI(M) MLA to take back what he had said against RMP legislator K K Rema.
However, neither of them were ready to do the same and this gives rise to two important questions -- can the assembly come to a conclusion that widowhood is a woman's fate and secondly, is the House a 'Kaurava sabha' where women can be insulted and abused, he said.
