<b>No sexist words, please</b>

Sometimes politicians get away by using words that hurt the sensitivity of their women colleagues. But CPM member Vrinda Karat on Wednesday decided enough was enough and she objected to ADMK member N Jothi and nominated member Ram Jethmalani's use of sexist words in the House. Jothi had said, "This Government is formed of some parties who are within the Government and some supporting parties who are screwing it from outside." When Ms Karat objected, Jothi clarified, much to the embarrassment of the members, that he meant 'screw driving' and not screwing. <b>Next was the turn of Jethmalani who in his speech said, "Afzal Guru ,convicted in the Parliament attack case, will get more punishment if he is not hanged. He has been indoctrinated that if he kills the infidels he will go to heaven and enjoy with hurs (beautiful women). If he is hanged, he will meet the hurs immediately but if he is given life imprisonment, he will feel the pinch of not meeting them the whole time," </b>he argued. Ms Karat held her head to show her disgust when she heard Jethmalani.
