THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Firoz Kunnaparambil, a charity activist, apologised for his derogatory remarks against women. He insulted women in a live video on a social media platform. He said that he should not have used such a word. If the remarks have pained anybody, I tender an apology for it, he added.

“I was with the patients for the past two days. Unnecessary controversies are being heard when I carry the pain of people on my shoulders. I may have reacted like that then. If my response was bad, please bear with me. I don’t have the right to insult anybody personally” he said via a Facebook video.

The state women’s commission had taken a suo motu case against him. Commission chairperson M C Josephine had requested the police to take strict action against him. She said he had insulted all the women in the state and this should not be allowed.
