The leader of the congress Rahul Mamkootathil, Mla, on Sunday did not give a definitive answer to Bipartisan political challenges to his resignation after charging of a sexual offense.
Mr Mamkootathil, who emerged from almost hermitic existence, said on his residence in Adoor in Pathanamthitta at a hurriedly arranged press conference on Sunday that he does not want to push Congress into political purgatory on Sunday. Congress workers “should not hang their heads for him.”
Mr Mamkootathil faced a volley of combat questions from journalists who had been a few days before their house for several days, he said that surprising accusations brought him briefly. “I am also a human being. The score of party workers called me, some critical, others support and several deep sad,” he said.
Momkootathil, who broadcast skepticism about the accusations of inappropriate behavior that was swirling around him, justified that his character as a defender of Congress made him a magnet for political enemies.
