Karnataka council row symptomatic of Malaise

New Indian Express  

Karnataka politics touched a new low last week with an unsavoury row breaking out during the legislative council session in Belagavi, and invectives being traded by Congress minister Laxmi Hebbalkar and BJP council member C T Ravi. Hebbalkar accused Ravi of murder—his driver allegedly mowed down two youngsters in a highway accident in 2019—to which Ravi reportedly responded with an unparliamentary, sexist term. There is still confusion over the word used by Ravi, with council chairman Basavaraj Horatti shutting down the case saying it was a “closed chapter” as there is no audio or video evidence, and that he had adjourned council proceedings before the row. Women parliamentarians often have to deal with demeaning conduct from their male counterparts—MPs Mohua Moitra and Sonia Gandhi are often the subject of personal barbs.
