KANNUR: Within hours after the scathing attack made by LDF state secretary, K Sudhakaran came with a tact response to LDF’s denigration attempt on him. He termed all those claims made by LDF leader M V Govindan as a hoax of the lowest standards.

“ Nobody has made statements against me. The victim never mentioned my name. I don't know how CPM gets all these witness statements that are kept confidential by crime branch officers. If CPM can prove this claim against me, I can give word about quitting politics for life. It is for CPM to decide” K Sudhakaran said.

Sudhakaran said he will move ahead with a libel case against M V Govindan and said he got no further comments but has pity for such leaders of the Communist party.

In a big statement with serious consequences, LDF state secretary M V Govindan alleged KPCC chief K Sudhakaran’s direct involvement in the POCSO case surrounding conman Monson Mavunkal.

“When Monson was sexually abusing the minor girl, K Sudhakaran was present there. This is the victim's statement to the police. Sudhakaran knew about the crime but remained silent allowing Monson to continue his dreadful practice. The crime branch questioning the congress leader will be part of it” said M V Govindan.

Meanwhile, the crime branch refuted Govindan's statement saying Sudhakran will be questioned in the cheating case, but not for the POCSO case.
