'P.C. George's remark anti-dalit'
Story Dated: Thursday, November 10, 2011 14:51 hrs IST

New Delhi: The controversial comment made by Chief Whip P.C. George
against A.K. Balan is anti-dalit, National Scheduled caste and
Scheduled Tribes Commission member Shivanna said Thursday.

The point has become clear in the preliminary investigation made by
the commission, he said.

The state government should have suo moto registered a case against
George in the case, he said.

Shivanna said that the refusal to charge a case against George was a
violation of the Supreme Court order.

The commission will soon reach Kerala for a detailed inquiry in the
case, he said.

The Kerala Congress-M leader P.C. George on October 27 had allegedly
made a casteist remark against CPM MLA A. K. Balan at a public meeting
in Pathanapuram in Kollam district.

It was the same meeting where Forest Minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar
(Kerala Congress-B) had fulminated in vulgar language against
opposition leader in Kerala Assembly V.S. Achuthanandan.

Balan is a former minister and MLA from Taroor (SC) segment in
Palakkad district.
