‘What happened in Delhi was brutal crackdown, requested Tata Group to make more investments in Kerala’

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister V D Satheesan said what happened in Delhi was a brutal crackdown. The students will have the full support of the state government, the chief minister said while talking to the press after the cabinet meet.

‘The rising incidence of ragging has been noticed. An app will be launched in the name of Siddharth, who died as a victim of ragging. The students can file complaints via this. The report of the sub-committee on PM SHRI has not yet received. The rest of the decision will be taken after it comes.

I heard the propaganda that permission is not being given to meet me. It is wrong. Anyone can come and see me. My office has not denied permission to anyone. I see people coming from different parts of Kerala.

Please do not give the news that I am not meeting anyone. I heard the complaint of the KSU President. I did not see Aloysius Xavier at S H College. If I did, why should I go without talking to him? I did not see him in the rush. Had informed Aloysius that I would be in Kochi till noon.

I did not say that I have not held talks with the authorities of Tata company. One of their issues involving Malabar Cements and Kochi Port remained undecided. A decision has now been taken on it. I told them to invest more in Kerala,' clarified the chief minister.
