Faced ‘bad experience' from young political leader: Actor
Kochi: Malayalam actor Rini Ann George on Wednesday alleged that she faced unpleasant experiences from a young political functionary of a prominent party in the state. Addressing the media, the actor alleged that the functionary sent her obscene messages and approached her in an inappropriate manner. However, she said that she didn't wish to reveal the functionary's name as she had good relations with many from the political party the person was associated with. The actor said she became acquainted with the functionary through social media. "From the beginning, the leader sent inappropriate messages. Despite being told it was wrong, he continued. The first message was sent three-and-a-half years ago after which he was elected as a people's representative," she said. The actor said that she decided to speak out after many women, including wives and daughters of politicians, reportedly had similar experiences. She clarified that she didn't want to move legally against the person. "If I file a complaint, I will put myself in danger. That will be the only result. I urge women in the country to elect public representatives wisely," she said. The functionary invited her to a five-star hotel, she added. "When I told him that I would lodge a complaint against him to the party leadership, his response was to go ahead. He reminded me about what happened to leaders involved in such serious harassment cases. I complained about him even to several party leaders. Complaints were also lodged in all necessary forums, yet he continued to receive positions in the party. His current stance is 'Who cares'," said the actor. She demanded that the political party he was part of should be ready to take action against him if the organisation had any moral integrity.
