THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPI(M) State Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan took a jibe at former DGP Jacob Thomas as he asked how a follower of the RSS can be made DGP of state police. He also stated that the LDF government will take necessary actions against the Central Tribunal’s order to reinstate the officer.

According to Kodiyeri, Jacob Thomas has always acted like a supporter of RSS and such an officer should not be holding the highest position of the State police force. Kodiyeri also took the opportunity to launch an attack against SDPI for murdering a Congress member at Chavakkad. According to him, such acts of violence cannot be tolerated and strict action would be taken against the criminals.

Kodiyeri further added that both SDPI and RSS are two sides of the same coin. He also blamed the Congress for supporting a communal party like SDPI as no Congress leaders came forward against it after the murder.
