Actor Murali Gopy joined many other celebrities in expressing his angst about the unruly scenes Kerala Legislative Assembly witnessed during the recent budget presentation. He wrote on his online page, “Democracy becomes a video game @ Trivandrum; and media wields the joystick with great aplomb.” He added later, “Dare not, BBC, make a documentary on this. We will ban it, and say, "It is a diabolic effort by the West to degrade Indian culture and to portray Indians as barbarians!!" MIND IT.”
