KOCHI: KPCC president Mullapally Ramachandran has said police and government were hand in glove in soft-pedalling the probe into Kasargod twin murder.

He alleged that those behind the murders were CPM activists who got training and permission from the party to carry out the crime.

“The CPM has the habit of introducing dummy accused. All accused in the case should be brought before the law. The relationship between Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Kodiyeri is like the one between Prime Miniser Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. They are Stalinists and people with criminal mind. They don’t have even an iota of kindness towards the poor or destitute,” he said at a press conference on Tuesday.

Mullapally said that CPM’s renaissance slogans are hypocrisy. “When they speak of renaissance, they carry out planned murders. This is what is called elimination theory. The CPM has the habit of washing its hands of any murder. If caught, they condemn the murder. People will realise this usual practice of the CPM. Authorities didn’t take any action even after the Bekel police were informed about the life threat Kripesh and Sharath was facing.

Mullapally also blamed Pinarayi Vijayan for murders that have been taking place in Kannur over the past 50 years and alleged that CPM leaders were involved in T P Chandraseklharan/Shuhaib murder cases.
