harassment allegations by Malayalam actor Rini Ann George<\/a>.<\/p>\nAnnouncing his decision, Mamkootathil said he did not do anything wrong, but party workers do not need to justify him. He also called George his \u201cfriend”\u00a0 and said he would take the legal course if there was any complaint against him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there any legal complaint against me? The lady, who made the statement, has not named me. She is a friend of mine. Is there any complaint against me in any of the police stations in the state?\u2026\u00a0 The party workers don\u2019t have to defend me. That is why I am resigning from the post of state youth congress president. The party has not asked me to resign,” he said.<\/p>\n
George has not named\u00a0 Mamkootathil, but the BJP alleged the actor was referring to the Palakkad MLA. George accused the politician of sending her offensive messages on multiple occasions and invited her to his hotel room.<\/p>\n
The BJP has also staged a protest march to the office of Congress\u2019s Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkoottathil, demanding his resignation.<\/p>\n
After George\u2019s allegations, Honey Bhaskaran, a writer, accused Mamkoottathil of sending her messages through social media.<\/p>\n
Bhaskaran got to know about Mamkootathil when he reacted to one of her photos on Instagram, leading to a conversation between them.<\/p>\n
Bhaskaran alleged that the MLA habitually misrepresents his interactions with women in lewd ways among his peers. \u201cI know many of his victims, and more will come forward with complaints. He tells every woman that she is the only one he loves, while saying the same to others,” Bhaskaran told Malyalam newspaper Manorama<\/em>.<\/p>\n
