Former Kerala Chief Minister AK Antony’s son Anil K Antony on Wednesday announced his resignation from the Congress party a day after he faced a barrage of criticism over his opposition to the two-part BBC series on the 2002 Gujarat riots.
“I have resigned from my roles in @incindia @INCKerala.Intolerant calls to retract a tweet, by those fighting for free speech. I refused. @facebook wall of hate/abuses by ones supporting a trek to promote love! Hypocrisy thy name is! Life goes on,” Antony posted on Twitter along with a redacted resignation letter.
