Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman P J Kurien, facing a political storm over Suryanelli rape case that has returned to haunt him, on Thursday met Congress president Sonia Gandhi and explained his position. The girl from Suryanelli in Idukki district was abducted in January 1996 and transported from place to place across Kerala and sexually exploited by different persons.There was speculation that Kurien has been asked to put in his papers but sources close to him claimed that there was no such move at the moment.

His meetings with Gandhi and Ansari came days after he had sent them a note explaining how he is being targeted under a “political conspiracy” even after being “exonerated” by the due process of law.He had yesterday rejected demands for his resignation saying the controversy is a conspiracy by his political adversaries.
