Kerala News | Congress Leader Slammed Over Video Of Him Trying To Hug Kerala Woman MLA

Congress leader Cherian Philip has come under severe criticism on social media after people pointed out what they called the Kerala leader's inappropriate behaviour while greeting Bindu Krishna, the newly elected MLA from Kerala's Kollam. A video of Philip welcoming Krishna at the Congress headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram is being shared widely by social media users and political leaders cutting across party lines, many of whom pointed out what Philip did even after seeing what they called Krishna's apparent reluctance and discomfort. The criticism against Philip centred around respecting boundaries, showing respect to women and maintaining decency in public. Many demanded action against Philip. "What this guy is doing, is he really sick? The lady is Keralam's Congress leader Smt. Bindhu Krishna, who won the Assembly election in Kollam. Other Congress leaders are also visible in the situation," Akhil B Nair, an X user, said.
