Thiruvananthapuram : Fisheries Minister Saji Cheiran tendered resignation over controversy involving remarks perceived as berating of the constitution.
Selected pieces from an hour-long speech were used to weave this vicious propaganda, the minister said.. While addressing issues, I spoke of things in my own words and style, never ever imagining my words would get distorted like this. I have never once disrespected the Constitution in any manner and will not do that either, said Cherian speaking with reporters, adding that, the resignation was entirely his decision.
