Kerala Minister Saji Cheriyan succumbs to pressure, resigns after protests over anti Constitutional remarks

“The Indian Constitution is not fair to the working class as there is no protection for them and instead of that some ‘stupid’ and ‘silly’ (used Malayalam colloquial words like ‘kunthem’ and ‘kudachakrem’) things like secularism and democracy are written in it.
Saji has also insulted Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar by mocking his role as the architect of the Constitution. “The Constitution was written by an Indian at the behest of the British. It’s something which one allows for loot and nothing there for the labour,” Cherian added.
Hours after stirring the controversy, Saji expressed his regret at the state Assembly and said that he respects the constitution but said that his comments are being twisted. Instead of taking action against the minister, CPM has extended its support to Saji Cheriyan.
