Cantonment police in Thiruvananthapuram has registered a case against BJP’s Kerala unit president, K Surendran after the latter courted controversy by making alleged derogatory remarks against women CPI(M) leaders.
Surendran, while addressing a party function in Thrissur on Sunday had purportedly said that women leaders in CPI(M), which leads the LDF government in the state, have become “fat” after “looting” the people. “They have looted cash and became fat like poothana (demoness) and they are mocking the women of Kerala,” the BJP leader said.
The police have registered the case under sections 354 (a) and 509 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) on the complaint of CPIM leader CS Sujatha.
