Kozhikode: Veteran Congress leader and Defence Minister A K Antony Sunday backed Rajya Sabha deputy speaker P J Kurien, who is alleged to have involved in the 17-year old Suryanelli rape case.
Kurien has been exonerated in all the investigations related to the case. Let the law take its own course, said Antony in a press conference here Sunday.
It’s been 17 years since the incident happened. The Left was in rule in the State for ten years during this period. V S Achuthanandan, who expressed ‘regret’ in the incident didn’t do anything during his tenure as chief minister, Antony said calling the demand of the LDF for Kurien’s resignation meaningless.
