Kerala Speaker Won't Apologise For Remarks On Hindu God: CPM

CPM state secretary M V Govindan said: "There will be no apology or correction. There is no need for it. What Shamseer said is entirely correct".

Kerala's ruling CPM has made it clear that Assembly Speaker AN Shamseer will neither apologise nor issue a correction regarding his controversial remarks about a Hindu deity, which has set off a political row.

Amid criticism from various right wing organisations and political parties like the Congress and the BJP demanding an apology from Mr Shamseer as well as his resignation, the CPM made its stance clear.

At a press conference, CPM state secretary M V Govindan said: "There will be no apology or correction. There is no need for it. What Shamseer said is entirely correct".
