Full text of the message
I don't know whether what I did is right or wrong but had no other way than this. I'm sorry if the people of Kerala think that this is wrong. Many poor families are suffering like this due to the negligence of Kerala officials. No family in Kerala should have a situation like this again.

Instead of working for the political parties, the officials should try to work for the poor at least now. What I did now is due to the negligence of the officials in Kerala. The officials should give a clear answer to the people after investigating whether what I have said is true. With love, yours own Mujeeb.

Mujeeb had come to the office several times to inquire whether he could be included in the Life Housing Scheme list. However, the authorities used to send him back after informing the norms and procedures.
