Setting aside political differences, women&#39;s organisations in Kerala have condemned the alleged misbehaviour by a Congress worker towards Union Minister Shashi Tharoor&#39;s wife Sunanda Pushkar at Thiruvananthapuram airport. <img alt="Sunanda Pushkar" src="http://gallery.mid-day.com/plog-content/images/b-town-specials/sparkling-do/sunanda.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 353px; " /> A 19-year-old youth, said to be a Congress worker, allegedly misbehaved with Sunanda Pushkar at Thiruvananthapuram airport (File pic) The incident occurred on Monday when Congress workers in the city gathered at the airport to accord a rousing reception to Tharoor, who had arrived along with his wife, after being sworn in as a minister at the Centre. In the melee, a 19-year-old youth, said to be a Congress worker, allegedly misbehaved with Sunanda, who had to force her way angrily through the crowd. Though the Tharoor couple were initially anguished over the incident and planned to lodge a police complaint, they later decided not to press for action after the youth apologised for his &#39;misconduct&#39;. However, women organisations of both Congress and Left parties want the authorities to take suo motu action in the incident. State Women&#39;s Commission Chairperson and former Congress MLA KC Rosakutty said if such an incident had happened it was quite unfortunate and shameful to the state as a whole. State secretary of CPI(M)&#39;s women&#39;s wing AIDWA KK Shylaja demanded the arrest of the youth. According to Tharoor&#39;s spokesperson, the minister&#39;s first reaction was that anybody who misbehaved towards a woman should be taken to task. Later, when the youth expressed deep regret for what had happened, Tharoor and his wife decided not to lodge a police complaint against the youth.u00a0
