With the Opposition LDF projecting the Assembly mayhem as a sexual assault case against women legislators, Congress legislator K Sivadasan Nair on Thursday said the allegations were false.

The other day, LDF legislator Jameela Prakasam had alleged that Nair had touched her body with sexual intention and she had bitten on his shoulder when the MLA was reluctant take his hand from her waist. Prakasam had then presented video clippings and stills of the ruckus in the Assembly when finance minister K M Mani presented the budget.

To counter Prakasam, Nair too presented the snaps of the proceeding to buttress his argument.

He said Prakasam was raising heinous allegations. The Opposition tried to attack Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. The women legislators were used a squad to attack Chandy. “Prakasam had showered abusive words on me. We had maintained utmost restraint. Even after getting a bite from Prakasam I did not lose my restraint. I am facing allegations which can shatter any man. Taking a still from a video clipping, it was not fair to argue that I had touched her with sexual intention,’’ said Nair.

Meanwhile, Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan wrote to Speaker N Sakthan, asking him to hand over the women legislators’ complaints to police. They had complained the Speaker on last Friday. As per various directives of the Supreme Court, the Speaker should have immediately handed over the complaints to police. Prakasam had stated in her complaint that Nair had sexually harassed her. The complaints should be handed over the police without any delay, said VS.
