Government to look into legal possibilities

KOTTAYAM: The government will look into the legal possibilities, including registering a case against CPM Idukki district secretary M M Mani for his controversial speech, said Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan. “The statement made by Mani that CPM would kill its political opponents, should be taken as a serious one. Also an investigation will be carried out into all the murders mentioned by him. We will examine whether there was any political conspiracy behind it. The police are now examining the video tape of the speech. We won’t initiate any action that will be against the law,” Thiruvanchoor said here on Sunday.Earlier, Mani had openly proclaimed in a meeting that the CPM had killed three political opponents in Idukki district who stood against the party.When asked whether the bigwigs will be caught in the T P Chandrasekharan murder case, he said that the police investigation does not revolve around any specific motive. “It’s the investigating team that should inform the progress of the case. The CPM is trying to obstruct the investigation and give the culprits political protection,” Thiruvanchoor said.He added that the government will also examine the conspiracy behind the political murders in the state.
