KOTTAYAM: Late congress leader Oommen Chandy’s daughter Achu Oommen is being slandered for her Instagram posts by some sections on Facebook and Instagram. This attack surfaces suddenly in the wake of the impending election in Puthuppally, as many LDF handles are seen targetting Achu for her fashion vlogs on the internet. And now, answering all those concerns with a Facebook post, Achu Oommen cleared the air saying she never misused her father's name for small gains in professional life.

“Fashion, travel, lifestyle, and similar fields are my domain where I do the content creation. It is my profession. However, it came to my notice that some fake images were being spread in my name by some Facebook handles. They are simply trying to tarnish Oommen Chandy’s reputation. I have never in my life used my father's name to earn any success in professional life” said Achu Oommen.

Meanwhile, the left candidate Jaick C Thomas showed his disapproval of the incident. He said people with dignity and basic sense won’t accept any such smearing campaign against anyone. Jaick also termed the incident as “outrageous”.
