Isaac offended womanhood.

It is read that a case has been registered against the film actor Sanjay Dutt for making derogatory and undignified remarks against chief minister Mayawati during an election speech. He was booked on obscenity charges for allegedly offering kiss to UP chief minister Mayawati. Dutt’s act is considered as an insult to Indian Womanhood and if so here in Kerala there is a similar act against womanhood by the Kerala Finance Minister Dr T M Thomas Isaac.

The incident occurred in the Kanjikizhy village of Alappuzha district while inaugurating the performance of women chenda artists playing the shingari melam. Inauguation was done in a novel way, in the presence of Alappuzha District panchayat President R Nazer and other branded comrades. It is well-known that when Chenda is played, it should be hung from the shoulder of the artist and there will be none other than the artist to support the chenda. And when Isaac performed the art for inauguration, instead of suspending Chenda from his shoulder, he used one hanging on the stomach of a woman performer. The scene was eye-catching nevertheless, if shown in a film the people would get mortified. Isaac performing his chenda stick on the platform arranged on the lower abdomen of a woman artist is more than an abusive sexual gesticulation and an outrageous act against modesty of woman. Isaac with his inaugural performance of shingari melam, offended the art and insulted womanhood. He is liable to be charged under section that is applied to Sanjay Dutt.
