THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Thrithala MLA V T Balram has come forward saying that the left organizations did not protest against the cartoon which made a caste slur at the chief minister. He also mocked that he misses DYFI and SFI members who attacked his office in the name of a Facebook comment.

The cartoon which appeared in BJP mouthpiece 'Janmabhoomi' shows two men discussing the privilege motion with a caption underneath translated as 'such things must be kept in mind while giving responsibility to someone who should climb coconut trees'.
