Kerala LDF leaders’ behaviour can’t be condoned: Supreme Court
The Hindu
Current Education Minister is among those facing charges for vandalism in Assembly in 2015
The Supreme Court on Monday said it will not condone the behaviour of Kerala’s Left Democratic Front (LDF) leaders, including the current Education Minister V. Sivankutty, who created a ruckus and indulged in vandalism on the floor of the Legislative Assembly, disrupting the presentation of the finance budget in 2015. The televised images from the day of the incident, during the United Democratic Front (UDF) government’s tenure, show legislators coming to blows on the House floor and hurling chairs, computers and other public property, soon after the then Finance Minister K.M. Mani began his budget speech. The MLAs are facing charges of criminal trespass, mischief and destruction of public property. The State government and the accused have separately appealed to the court for withdrawal of the case.
