Kerala Congress Leaders Divided Over MLA's Assembly Attendance
Some leaders in Kerala's Congress party are arguing about whether one of their members, Rahul, who has been accused of misbehaving, should go to the Assembly.
Some think he should go, as no one has officially complained about him yet.
They believe if he goes, no one will be able to bother him, or they can make jokes about people in the other party facing the same allegations.
Others, including some leaders, think he should take a break from the session.
They worry his presence would cause trouble.
The police are also involved, and they are informing the speaker about the case against Rahul.
Kerala Congress leaders disagree on whether Rahul Mamkootathil should attend the Assembly session.
Some leaders support his attendance, noting no formal complaints have been filed.
Other leaders, including VD Satheesan, prefer he stay away to avoid controversy.
Some leaders suggest the ruling party has members facing similar accusations.
Crime Branch is set to inform the Speaker about the case against Rahul.
