Siddique resigns from KPCC General secretary post

KPCC general secretary T Siddique, who courted controversy after his former wife complained that she and her two children were assaulted by him, today resigned from the post.
Siddique told reporters at Kozhikode that he had sent his resignation letter to KPCC President V M Sudheeran and informed Chief Minister Oommen Chandy of the matter.
Rejecting the charges, he said "I am resigning on moral grounds in the wake of the complaint. I want to keep away from the post till I am absolved of the charges levelled."
Sudheeran said he had received Siddique's resignation and it would be accepted.

The family affair turned political, after Siddique alleged that his former wife was being instigated by Congress MP from Waynad M I Shanavas and KPCC secretary K Jayanth.
In a Facebook post, Siddique had said that a conspiracy was behind the allegations to politically destroy him.

Siddique's former wife, a cancer patient, had alleged she and her two children were intimidated and assaulted when she went to a hospital at Kozhikode for a check-up recently.
Siddique, a former state Youth congress president and a confidant of Chandy, had unsuccessfully contested from Kasargod Lok Sabha seat in the Lok Sabha elections last year.

He had divorced his former wife Naseema and married another woman few months ago.
