Congress legislator Rahul Mamkootathil arrived at the Kerala Legislative Assembly on Monday (September 15, 2025), seemingly marking the end of his self-imposed political exile following accusations of sexual misconduct that had kept him away from public life last month.
Mr. Mamkootathil entered the Assembly precincts accompanied by Youth Congress leaders, including Thiruvananthapuram district secretary Nemom Sajeer, as the House paid homage to departed leaders – former Chief Minister and Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] stalwart V.S. Achuthanandan, former Speaker P.P. Thankachan, and Communist Party of India (CPI) legislator from Peerumedu in Idukki, Vazhoor Soman, – during an obituary reference.
