THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Advocate Harish Vasudevan came to the fore against Firoz Kunnamparambil for his derogatory remarks against women. He used derogatory terms against a woman in a live video on a social media platform. In a Facebook post, he urged the union home ministry to conduct a probe and take action against him. The state women’s commission had taken a suo motu case against him.

‘Accepting crores of rupees illegally from abroad in the name of medical help, misusing it for personal purposes and having no accountability for it, Firoz who exploits the inner goodness of men, what charity work is he doing’, Harish asked in the post.

Meantime, Firoz came forward with an explanation on it. He explained his stand at a programme organised in giving help to 10 sick patients. In this county there is no importance in doing good and tarnishes the image of a person doing good things in the society. I’ve not insulted women and those sitting in front of me are women and let them say which woman I insulted, he said.
