This is not the first time that Mani is airing such fiery and controversial statements. In fact, Mani's entire political career is littered with such events.
The CPI state secretary said his party's leadership in Kerala was not obliged to come to Raja's rescue.
The Marxist party veteran withdrew his remark following a ruling by Speaker M B Rajesh.
He confessed to having reacted out of sheer anger and without thought.
Instead of stalling the Assembly, the UDF allowed the House to function smoothly, not causing any disturbance in the name of Mani.
The latest incident seems to be the CPM's shrewd attempt to avoid infinitely more damning questions.
Asked about Raja's criticism of Mani for the insensitive remarks he made against Rema in the Kerala assembly, Mani said the CPI leader should only mind her business in Delhi.
The legislator from Vadakara has urged CPM to introspect and dissuade its leaders from insulting women.
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.
Speaker M B Rajesh made it clear that he was not in a position to remove Mani's remarks as it did not contain anything "overtly unparliamentary".
