Politician's secret discussions with a woman in secluded place, alone is a mean business

By O.J.George

Rajmohan Unnithan forcing the victory sign as he boarded the police jeep after getting bail for alleged sex offence, pushing aside a police man to do so, was amusing sight.

Whose victory, what victory?Honey trap is one of the common tools among intelligence agencies of rival countries. But this was self-inflicted honey trap.

It is a pity that some political figures find it convenient to hold discussions with women or women colleagues solitary at night in God-forsaken places.

Rajmohan Unnithan may be guilty or not guilty, he may have the support of medical certificate in respect of the woman concerned, no sex done.

But was it essential that he should hold discussions at night with the woman in question all alone?

Sometime ago, a Minister of the V S Achuthanandan ministry, of course, an LDF partner minister, was caught in likewise fashion, a few papers had reported.

The minister could cover up the incident in many of the mainstream newspapers and media.

He had also simplified the issue saying that was a night discussion. But a lot of people had gathered around the house in which the discussion was going on .

The minister had given up his state car while furtively featuring in discussions. When a huge crowd collected at the site, he called for the gun man and the car and escaped in the official car.

Afterwards, nothing is heard about it so far.There were rumours that the minister was trapped by a chota leader of his own party, of course in another group.
Suffice it to say, leaders holding secret discussions with women, alone at hidden places is a mean business.
