KOCHI: With actor Jojo George making it clear that he is not ready for a compromise with the Congress leaders for the time being, the possibility of a compromise with the Congress has faded. Joju George's position is that the personal statements made against him by the Congress leaders should be publicly withdrawn. The Congress had raised serious allegations against Joju, including insulting women. Joju says all of this is in front of the public and needs to be withdrawn. His lawyer Ranjith Marar said that Joju's position is that a compromise can be reached if these demands are met.

Meanwhile. DCC President Mohammad Shiyas told a news conference that a further stand on the Joju issue will be taken after the meeting. "It is understood that Joju is withdrawing from the reconciliation efforts. He is proceeding with legal action. The consensus proposal was put forward by Joju's friends. Joju has not come directly yet. Let Joju express regret first", he said. The DCC president said the Congress would consider withdrawing the statement after that.

"The next steps in cases against leaders will be decided in consultation with the party leadership. The Congress was doing the responsibility of the Opposition. Do not glorify those who challenge the people. The verbal abuse of Joju was there in TV channels. Everything Joju said was lies and obscene. Joju's action is a challenge to the people. If no case is registered on the complaint of women Congress leaders, agitation will be organized", he said.

Joju George and the Congress got into an issue during the Youth Congress' road blockade in Kochi against the fuel price hike. The court today rejected the bail plea of ​​Congress activist Joseph, who was arrested in connection with the attack on Joju George's vehicle.
