CPM has not yet reached the stage where it needs to appease RSS: Kerala CM
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has responded to the Congress' allegations about the CPI-M's relationship with the RSS.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayn said on Tuesday that the government would step into taking an appropriate action if any woman who had testified before the Hema Committee is willing to come forward with a complaint. No matter, how high-ranking he is, appropriate action would be taken against him, he said.
However, the chief minister said at a press conference here that his government would not initiate suo motu cognizance of harassment and sexual assaults faced by women in Malayalam film industry based on the Hema Committee report.
He said the state police cannot take a suo motu cognizance of the various crimes as the Justice Hema Committee has not recommended taking a case on any matters mentioned in the report.
