KOCHI: Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan on Wednesday said Congress will take a decision on Perumbavoor MLA Eldose P Kunnapillil only after hearing his version on the sexual assault complaint filed against him by a woman. Speaking to reporters here, Satheesan said Congress had decided at its Chintan Shivir meeting that there won’t be any compromise as regards treatment towards women.
“Any decision that will be taken will follow the Chintan Shivir theme. There won’t be any dilution on this principle,” he said. He said the party is yet to get Kunnapillil’s response to the complaint filed by the woman.
“As a principle of natural justice, we need to hear his version. We have not heard his version. The party will decide only after getting his version,” Satheesan said.
