THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Youth Congress general secretary Rahul Mankoottathil reacted to the controversy related to the doctorate of women commission member Shahida Kamal.

"If Shahida's claim is true, then the imprint of the file on her graduation picture shows that the university is a Sri Lankan-based institution called 'The Open International University for Complementary Medicine'. There is also a scam firm in the same name in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. A year ago, police arrested a man claiming to be its VC. So is the degree from Tamil Nadu ... or Sri Lanka?", Rahul wrote on Facebook.
