Kerala Women’s Commission chief MC Josephine resigns over ‘then you suffer’ remarks

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM (KERALA): Kerala Women’s Commission chairperson MC Josephine on Friday tendered her resignation after she faced protests over her “then you suffer” remark to a domestic violence victim, ANI reported.
Josephine, a CPM central committee member, tendered her resignation after attending a meeting of the party on Friday.
Josephine’s remarks during a phone in programme organised by a TV channel had elicited furious reactions with protestors taking to the streets demanding her resignation over what apparently has been taken as her insensitive handling of the woman caller.
Earlier in the day, Josephine had said: “I did not say this.
There are women who are not willing to listen to us.
We suggest women file complaints making the case stronger as we cannot reach everywhere.” “A woman on call said she was being tortured by her husband and mother-in-law.
I found out that she did not file a complaint.
Later, I realised that I should not have reacted in such a manner.
I would like to express regret if my words have hurt her,” she had added.
