Rahul Mamkootathil row: Kerala rightwing activist Rahul Easwar backs Congress MLA, lashes out at actor Rini Ann George for 'baseless charges'
Kerala rightwing activist Rahul Easwar lashed out at Malayalam actor Rini Ann George for levelling "baseless" charges against Congress MLA Rahul Mamkootathil and accused her of "spoiling" his Onam celebrations.
In a video shared on Facebook, Easwar lashed out at Rini and asked whether the actor had any shame and accused the upcoming actor of using the controversy for her personal publicity. "While Rini attends inaugural events, Rahul is staying locked up inside his house, probably crying inside," he charged.
The Malayalam actor was the first to raise sexual misconduct complaint against the Palakkad MLA, though she did not name Mamkootathil. However, Rini used the phrase, "Who cares?", (Rahul Mamkootathil's first response to allegations) to refer to the Congress legislator.
Easwar said, while he could, he would not indulge in slut-shaming the actor, referring to her recent comments during a mango fest. Easwar targeted the actor for not providing evidence for allegations levelled against Mamkootathil.
