Kannur (Kerala), Nov 23 (PTI) A member of CPI(M)’s Kannur District Secretariat on Sunday accused the SDPI of “adopting a communal approach to sexual assault cases”, reacting based on the religion of the accused and the victim.

P Harindran, speaking at an event here, referred to a 2020 case in Palathayi in which a teacher raped a student.

He alleged that the Social Democratic Party of India highlighted the case because “the accused was Hindu and the victim a Muslim girl.” He further claimed that numerous other instances of sexual assault by “ustads” against minor boys and girls had been reported in Kerala, but the SDPI did not protest or take action.

“Have they ever tried to find out what happened in those cases? Did they protest? They did nothing,” he said.
