Who said jail food is not nutritious? After one about month term in the central jail for calling a judge ‘Shumban’ M V Jayarajan returns with added vigour and this time he calls the honorable Speaker of the Kerala Legislative Assembly as ‘blind’. Jayarajan said: “Speaker who cannot not see the laddu distribution and kissing protest in the Assembly during the budget presentation is blind. The blind needs no computer”
It is may be true that voters have a fundamental right to criticise the actions of legislators of the Assembly. They can make fair comments as part of freedom. However, comment of the sort made by Jayarajan against the Speaker is obnoxious and is a contempt towards the legislature. Jayarajan’s comment lowers the authority of the House and hence there is every reason for the Privileges Committee of the Kerala assembly to summon the contemnor and punish him.
