NCPCR member Yashwant Jain was here on Thursday with the intention of meeting the parents of the victims. But the parents had gone to Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday for a meeting with the Chief Minister.
Ms. Surendran said that the victims’ mother had said till Wednesday that “the sickle party” had been responsible for the death of her daughters.
“Today she says she has faith in the Chief Minister. It is no longer a question of her personal faith. The public should know how she got such a confidence in the Chief Minister all of a sudden?” she said.
