Hello
Rema told Malayala Manorama that she would file a defamation case against persons including Sachin Dev, MLA, who made the allegation at first and CPM State Secretary MV Govindan who backed his claim.
The Secretary is expected to take the final decision on granting permission after discussing with Speaker A N Shamseer.
The Vadakara MLA was seen with a plastered hand hours after the scuffle in front of the Speaker's office on March 15 between the legislators of the LDF and the Opposition.
As Rema suffered a fracture on her hand, LDF MLA should be booked under a non-bailable offence.
Rema has filed a complaint with the Director General of Police (DGP) with evidence.
The Marxist party veteran withdrew his remark following a ruling by Speaker M B Rajesh.
Instead of stalling the Assembly, the UDF allowed the House to function smoothly, not causing any disturbance in the name of Mani.
'They should realise that RMP workers will not be bogged down by their tactics,' she retorts.
Criticism is part and parcel of Assembly proceedings. One must be ready for it, Mani said. But in the same breathe, the Udumbanchola MLA added that Rema had no right to criticise the Chief Minister.
The legislator from Vadakara has urged CPM to introspect and dissuade its leaders from insulting women.
