Outrage erupted after a video of 71-year-old Congress leader Cherian Philip purportedly forcefully trying to hug his female colleague- Kollam MLA designate Bindu Krishna- went viral on social media.
The incident took place at the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram. The viral video showed Krishna, who recently won elections from Kollam, arriving at the headquarters and being greeted by local media and others present on the premises.
Krishna was seeing greeting people by folding her hands in a ‘namaste’ or offering a handshake. Likewise, she extended her hands as Cherian Philip came before her.
