Congress leader Rajmohan Unnithan, MP

Congress leader Rajmohan Unnithan, MP, has criticised UDF convener Adoor Prakash for holding a press conference in which the latter criticised the Keralam government and the party leadership, saying the move was “inappropriate for the position he holds.”

Speaking to journalist in Kanhangad on Friday, Mr. Unnithan said matters that should be raised within party forums should not be aired publicly through press conferences. He also said it was inappropriate for a person “responsible for defending the government” to hold a press conference in a manner that put the government on the defensive.

Mr. Unnithan said he too has views on appointments made by the government, but disagreed with turning such issues into personal allegations. “If there are complaints about the government or its appointments, they should be raised on party platforms,” he said, adding that there were also opportunities to bring such complaints to the attention of the leadership of the All Indian Congress Committee (AICC).
