NEW DELHI: KPCC president K Sudhakaran said that MLA Eldhose Kunnapillil, accused in the rape case, has given an explanation to KPCC. Eldhose has stated in his explanation that he is innocent and the case is politically motivated. In response to the MLA, Sudhakaran said further action would be taken after consulting senior leaders.

'We are not justifying Eldhose' action. It is true that Eldhose' action brought shame to the party.
