The State Home Department is extending support to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) by endorsing its nefarious activities in the State, Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] State general secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has alleged.
Several CPI(M) workers had lost their lives in RSS violence and the Home Department is giving tacit support to the criminal activities perpetrated by the Sangh Parivar, Mr. Balakrishan told reporters during his maiden visit to the district on Monday after taking over the mantle of the Left party.
The police department is framing cases against CPI(M) workers by invoking the stringent Kerala Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 2007 (KAAPA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) while cases against other political parties are registered under relatively lighter provisions, he alleged and said that the accused in the Shibin murder case in Nadapuram were released on bail as the police and the prosecution had extended support to the accused.
INL to back LDF
Mr. Balakrishnan said that the Indian National League (INL) would continue to support the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and a decision to accommodate the INL into the LDF fold would be decided by the Front partners, he said. However, the CPI(M) has no plans to forge any electoral pact with the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) as the Muslim party continued to profess fundamentalism in its policies and programmes, he said.
Mr. Balakrishnan flayed the Chief Minster’s mass public contact programme, which he said only resulted in the misuse of public money. Maintaining that the results of the SSLC examinations were “scuttled”, Mr. Balakrishnan alleged that the hasty declaration of the results had only helped the interests of the vested few who wanted the students join the private schools under the CBSE stream.
