KOTTAYAM: Poonjar MLA P C George has said that he was withdrawing his statement that apparently demeaned the nun, who had made sexual harassment charge against Jalandhar bishop Franco Mulackal.

“It was my mistake to have made such a bad comment against the nun. While answering media persons’ questions at Kottayam Press Club, I used the term ‘prostitute’ to describe that woman, who claims to be a nun. I should not have used that term to describe her, however bad she is, but I don’t consider her as a nun. But for the rest part, I stand by what I have said,” he said on Wednesday during an interview given to a private TV channel.

Meanwhile, George said that the national women’s commission had not sent him any notice regarding the incident.
