Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said that he will sue Left Democratic Front (LDF) convener E.P. Jayarajan for defamation.
His reaction came against the backdrop of reports that Mr. Jayarajan had accused Mr. Satheesan of fabricating a video to tarnish the image of Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] candidate Jo Joseph in the run up to the Thrikkakara byelection.
Mr. Satheesan said that Mr. Jayarajan had lost the moral right to hold the LDF convener’s post. His off-the-cuff remarks were a bane for the LDF and a boon for the United Democratic Front (UDF).
