Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Monday maintained that he had full respect for courts and court verdicts but he rejected the idea of his quitting office on the basis of media reports.
“I do not propose to take a position on the basis of media reports. The media should study the observations of the courts prior to posing questions to me,” he said. Mr. Chandy, addressing the media, said he had always held court verdicts with great respect. “Some people have a favourable disposition to the courts only if the verdict is favourable to them. They oppose the courts when the verdicts go against them. As far as I am concerned, I have accepted courts and court verdicts whether they happened to be in favour or against me,” he said.
