PALAKKAD: Lathika Subhash, the UDF candidate in the Malampuzha Lok Sabha constituency, has filed a complaint against her opponent, LDF candidate and Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan, with the State Election Commission and the Palakkad Judicial First Class Magistrate for attempting to malign her name and reputation. The court posted the petition to April 30 to record the complainant's sworn statement.
Lathika said in her complaint that at the press meet in Palakkad on April 5, a scribe had asked Achuthanandan whether his campaigning in Malampuzha constituency for four days was because the opponent was an able candidate.
''You know her better. You may investigate in which way she is able,'' Achuthanandan had told the scribe.
According to the complaint, there was attempted character assassination on the part of Achuthanandan. He was trying to malign her and get her defeated.
Lathika wanted a case to be charged against Achuthanandan under Section 509 CrPC for attempted character assassination and showing disrespect to womanhood and that he be punished.
A copy of Lathika's complaint was also submitted to Chief Electoral Officer Nalini Netto.
Lathika stated that Achuthanandan's statement was a violation of the code of conduct. Netto directed the District Collector who is also the district returning officer to present a detailed report.
