Hello
T N Prathapan is the only sitting MP of the Congress party in Kerala who will not contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls
The Congress MP said the activists did not have the permission of the leadership to organise such a protest.
The suspended MPs from Kerala are TN Prathapan, Hibi Eden, Ramya Haridas, Dean Kuriakose, Benny Behanan and VK Sreekandan.
Manickam Tagore and Jothimani are the other two MPs who protested against price rise.
Prathapan, who represents Thrissur Lok Sabha constituency in Kerala, has alleged that the laws are violative of Article 14 (right to equality), 15 (prohibition of discrimination) and 21 (right to life and liberty) of the Constitution.
The Thrissur MP said the law, which was accorded presidential assent on Sunday, is 'liable to be struck down as unconstitutional, illegal and void'.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and seven of his cabinet colleagues were forced to go into self-isolation on Friday after Malappuram District Collector tested positive for coronavirus.
Politicians in Kerala are making good use of the downtime by writing their hearts out.
Ruling BJP members accused Congress MPs Dean Kuriakose and TN Prathapan of charging towards Irani when she was speaking in the House and turning aggressive, with Prathapan seen rolling up his sleeves in the aisle.
The poll history reveals the voters in this constituency in central Kerala have had no favourites and they don't mind upsetting the tallest leader who enters the fray in Thrissur.
