THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Rahul Easwar has come out in support of Sreejith Panicker who was widely criticised over his Facebook post regarding the incident where a COVID patient was taken to hospital by bike. While claiming that Sreejith had not used a rape joke in connection with the incident, Rahul added that Sreejith was only saying things in a sarcastic manner.
"Sreejith Panicker is one of the best political observers who have emerged in Kerala in the last 10 years. What sincerity there is in removing a line from his post and saying that he is very bad? He has often used satire to bring up various things to the public front. Why are people trying to settle personal scores even during the time of COVID? Why are they attacking a talented young man from all corners?" Rahul said.
