Following the accusations against Bishop Franco Mulakkal of Jalandhar by a 44-year old nun who complained of multiple instances of rape, Kerala MLA PC George dubbed the nun as a 'prostitute' which received severe criticism soon after.

The MLA attacked the nun saying, “No one has doubt that the nun is a prostitute. 12 times she enjoyed it and the 13th time it is rape? Why didn't she complain the first time?” “What would you call a nun who has sexual relations with someone for two years?," the MLA said further. As many as five nuns sat next to the Kerala High Court seeking justice for the victim, as per a report by The News Minute.

Earlier on Saturday, it was decided that the nun will address the media on Sunday. However, the press meet was canceled following George's remarks. The nun has not addressed the media ever since the case was filed.

“After PC George’s press meet, she is not in a frame of mind for it,” Sister Anupama, one of the five protesting nuns, was quoted as saying by TNM. As per her statements, the nun cried for hours and ran into her room as she heard PC George.

“We were not with her when he called for the press meet, we were in Kochi. Her sister was with her and she told us that the nun cried as soon as she heard PC George, and ran into her room. She locked herself up for hours and she was in her room even when we reached back. She did not have any food last night and her condition continues to be the same even today,” Sister Anupama was quoted as saying by TNM.

Anupama also said that she refused to take any calls as she was so wounded by George's words. The Bishop was accused of rape multiple times during 2014 and 2016. A Special Investigative Team was also formed to investigate after the nun's complaint. Meanwhile, the nun also alleged earlier that she received death threats from the bishop in the case that was registered. Allegations of bribery and threatening the nuns were also filed by Bishop Franco Mulakkal.
