Thiruvananthapuram: Politburo member M A Baby asserted that the party will forward the sexual abuse complaint against MLA PK Sasi to the police after seeking the woman's opinion.
He noted that the party would not allow anyone who attacked women to hold any position in the party. He declared his stand on the issue in his Facebook post on Monday.
He noted that AK Balan and P K Sreemathy who are inquiring on the complaint will file the report soon.
'The party is obliged to protect the privacy of the complainant. But if she decides to forward the complaint to the police, party and the government alike will support her. If the party feels that this complaint should be investigated by the police, it will be handed over to them with the consent of the woman', he said.
He also expressed his worries over the situation which led the nuns to stage protest against the bishop. He hoped that the police would take necessary action in the nun abuse case.
'I am sure that the government will not compromise with the case. But the catholic church leadership is neglecting such a serious issue . Nobody is ready to protect the nuns who sacrificed themselves for the church. The church should review their patriarchal stand against the nuns. I hope pope Francis will take the initiative to adopt strict action over the issue', he wrote on his Facebook page.
