Kerala CM Defends Remark: Upholding Public Decorum

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan faced scrutiny after making a sharp remark towards a CPI(M) worker at a public event. This incident underscored the importance of maintaining decorum, according to Vijayan, who clarified his stance during a press meet.

At the event in Pathanamthitta, when CPI(M) worker Das P George attempted to pose a question, Vijayan responded with 'go and ask at home.' Later, Vijayan explained there are certain decencies to be observed at public events, which differ from press conferences.

George admitted his mistake in a TV interview, acknowledging the timing was inappropriate. Meanwhile, Congress General Secretary K C Venugopal criticized Vijayan's conduct, suggesting the remark indicated his insecurity ahead of assembly polls.
