Second disgusting creature!

First Bishop of Idukki thus became the second disgusting creature for politicians of Kerala. In an unwarranted Face book comment the bubbly MLA of the Congress party V T Balram called the Idukki Bishop as disgusting creature.

Actually Balram was studying for Pinarayi as it was Pinarayi on October 13, 2007, in a speech   referred Thamarassery  Bishop Mar John Chittilappally as a "disgusting creature". The abuse to the Bishop had come when he was referring to the statement that Thiruvambady MLA Mathai Chacko had received the church anointment of the sick despite his declared policy of atheism. The term ’disgusting creature’  was later repeated by Marxist leader M M Mani when  he was arrested for making a controversial statement in the Anjeri Baby case. Mani then lambasted Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan and P T Thomas calling them ‘disgusting creatures’. However he never called a Bishop in that tone.

The matter is, there is no difference between Marxists or Congress leaders in using abusive terms against the revered. And in this case Balaram has miserably tried to elevate himself as a 'tall leader' like Pinarayi.  Polticians of course need a code of conduct.
