Former CPI(M) Pallakad secretary Babu faces misbehaviour allegations
A day after he was replaced as CPI(M) Palakkad district secretary, EN Suresh Babu faces allegations of misbehaviour and possible further disciplinary action following an internal complaint filed before the party by a woman
Former CPI(M) Palakkad district secretary EN Suresh Babu is facing allegations of misconduct, according to an internal complaint filed by a woman before the party. When Babu resigned from his position on Sunday, he claimed the decision was due to personal reasons. However, it was later reported that a lawyer from Ottappalam, affiliated with the party's legal wing, had submitted a complaint of sexual misconduct to the party leadership.
The alleged incident is said to have occurred within the district office in Palakkad. The woman reportedly threatened legal action if Babu was not held accountable. Senior CPI(M) leader NN Krishnadas called for clarification from the state leadership regarding the complaint. However, CPI(M) state secretary MV Govindan denied the existence of such a complaint. The Congress demanded that the party forward the complaint to the police for further investigation.
