THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP leader Kummanam Rajashekaran on Sunday came up with a pledge to prevent any repetition of the infamous Walayar rape case. The pledge was made as part of the Deepavali celebrations. While condemning the court's decision to acquit the four accused in the Walayar case, Kummanam criticized the prosecution for its irresponsible and punishable carelessness that led to the court order.

He further went on to say that Kerala is facing such a situation where people are denied justice just because the accused happens to be closely connected with the CPM.
