Several litres of petrol were misused for burning in effigy the Minister and several man hours were wasted in protest against what is called a derogatory remark against the Opposition leader by the Kerala forest minister K B Ganesh Kumar. Though the Minister apologized protest went unabated.
It is not a new thing among political leaders to mudsling their opponents. The news regarding this would appear only as a corner item in news papers in yesteryears and the people often ignore it. The time has changed with evolution of innumerable channels and as a matter of their survival even silly stuffs are highlighted in a highly provocative manner and that leads to the turmoil of the present sort. It is not alone the person who makes confusion with his mudslinging words but by the unreliable involvement of crazy channels.
It was quite unbecoming of a minister to make such a derogatory remark and it is equally unbecoming of channels to give wide publicity for it. If not restricted in time the channels would turn to be a big head ache and the State would run from less disorder to more disorder.
