Congress leader V M Sudheeran Wednesday asked Bishop Franco Mullakal of Jalandhar diocese, accused by a nun of raping her, to step down and face legal proceedings.
Speaking at a 'People's Gathering' here to express solidarity with some nuns who are staging a dharna in Kochi demanding Franco's arrest, former KPCC president Sudheeran said no one was above the law.
It was not possible to cover up the truth, Sudheeran said, adding that their protest was not against the church.
Former BJP leader P P Mukundan and former nun Jesmi were among those who participated in the protest.
