ILLEGAL RECRUITMET - An Omani national and two Keralites were arrested

An Omani national and two Keralites were arrested by the Poojapura police here for conducting unauthorised recruitments in the city.
Abu Omar of Oman and Pradeep of Mangattukadavu near Tirumala and Anilkumar
of Poovar were arrested for conducting recruitment drive without getting the prior permission of the authorities.

The three were arrested from a private hotel at Thirumala, where they were residing. The police said that the arrests were made after they received a tip off that the accused were recruiting workers to Oman without permission.

The police confirmed that Abu Omar was the proprietor of a recruiting agency in Oman and Pradeep and Anilkumar were his employees. They were in the state to recruit trained carpenters to Oman.
But they hadn’t obtained necessary sanctions from the Emigration Department. The arrested were charged with relevant sections of IPC and Emigration act, the police said.

Reject Mani’s vulgar opinions: Achuthanandan

Commenting on CPI (M) Idukki district secretary M.M. Mani’s controversial remarks, CPI (M)’s octogenarian central committee member V.S. Achuthanandan said Mani’s statement was contrary to facts.

“As the party’s State secretary at that time, I can authoritatively say that what he said is contrary to facts. I hope that you will reject Mani’s vulgar opinions with the contempt they deserve,” he said.

MM Mani had openly claimed on Friday that the party had a history of ruthlessly murdering its political enemies and would continue to do so if it was necessary.

Mani’s statement came at the most inopportune moment imaginable for the Marxist party as it was immersed in the difficult task of proving its innocence in the May 4 murder of rebel leader T.P. Chandrasekharan in Kozhikode district by repeatedly saying that killing political enemies had never been a policy of the CPI (M).

Petrol price raised by Rs 6.28 Rupee per litre in Kerala it is about Rs 8

In the steepest ever hike, petrol price was increased today by Rs 7.50 a litre with effect from midnight tonight. State-owned oil firms said they will raise petrol price by Rs 6.28 per litre excluding local sales tax or VAT. The hike translates into Rs 7.50 per litre in Delhi. Petrol in Delhi currently costs Rs 65.64 a litre and after the increase it will be priced at Rs 73.14 per litre.In Kerala petrol price increased by 8 rupee per litre

Earlier in the day, the Left parties had opposed any such move saying it will be a cruel blow to the people reeling under price rise.

With rupee depreciation leading to jump in oil import bill, petroleum minister S Jaipal Reddy on Tuesday said there is an immediate need to raise fuel prices, but refused to say when the hike will actually take place. "It (price increase) is very essential but (before hiking rates) we have to talk to political parties," he told reporters.

CPI M GENERAL SECRETARY KARAT CONFORMS GETTING ACHUTHANANDAN's LETTER

Rattled by CPI-M veteran V S Achuthanandan’s confirmation that he had indeed sent a letter to the party leadership, CPI-M began a damage control exercise stating that media reports regarding the missive were misleading and intended to create confusion.

CPI-M General Secretary Prakash Karat, in a brief statement from Delhi, said media in Kerala was indulging in a lot of speculation on the letter sent to him by Achuthanandan.

“I wish to state that a letter has been received. However, reports in the media regarding the letter are misleading. They seem to be intended to create confusion,” Karat said.

Significantly, while confirming he had shot off a letter to the leadership, Achuthanandan did not deny any portion of the reports that appeared in the press as the contents of the letter, which reportedly sought an overhaul of party leadership in the state.

“Yes I did write to the central leadership. I do not intend to share the contents of the letter with media”, Achuthanandan said in Kayamkulam in Alappuzha District.

As per media reports, the senior leader said to have written that he was not interested in continuing as opposition leader if the central leadership did not intervene in the affairs of the party in the state being led ‘astray’ under the leadership of Vijayan.

Vijayan, who had dubbed the reports as “mere media creation,” today maintained Karat had confirmed that the content of the letter was not as reported.

‘…Karat had confirmed that the content of the letter as propagated by the media was not correct. It could be a media creation’, he told reporters in Kannur adding he was also not aware of the letter’s content.

The latest turn in the long-running feud between the two leaders has come at a time when CPI-M is locked in a grim assembly bye-election from Neyyattinkara.

The bypoll has been caused by resignation of the assembly seat by R Selvaraj who won from the segment in 2011 on CPI-M ticket. After stunning the party two months ago, Selvaraj is back in the fray as a Congress candidate.

To the LDF’s discomfiture, the Congress-led UDF has been going to town with the CPIM’s internal squabbles.

Achuthanandan, sulking after he failed to get into the polit bureau in the recently held party congress, was waiting for a chance to strike back at the state leadership.

He has seized on the recent murder of T P Chandrasekharan, leader of Revolutionary Marxist Party, a former CPI-M activist from Onchiyam in Kozhikode district, after which the CPI-M has come under shadow of doubt.

VS expresses his dissatisfaction in continuing as opposition leader

V S Achuthanandan has come to the fore with another bolt for the CPM which is already facing accusations of involvement in the murder of RMP leader TP Chandrasekharan. He has sent a letter to CPM general secretary Prakash Karat and politburo member Sitaram Yechuri expressing his dissatisfaction in continuing as opposition leader.

The letter says the party is moving with the stand encouraging ‘political murders’. If this trend is followed, the party is sure to collapse. Party activists have lost faith in the party after the murder of T P Chandrasekharan. The state and centre panels should be convened to discuss all the problems.

Hinting on Pinarayi, VS said things decided by the state leadership are not being executed. Instead of bringing those who have left the party owing to differences of opinion, calling them as renegades is not correct.

Union Minister Mullappalli denies interference in murder case probe

Rejecting allegations that he was interfering in the probe into the murder of rebel CPI-M leader T P Chandrasekharan, Union Minister of State for Home Mullappally Ramachandran today said the investigation was moving in the right direction.

'I had never spoken to any officer or intervened in the probe, I am ready for repentance, if my intervention is proved, he told PTI here.

Earlier, speaking to reporters after visiting the house of the slain Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) leader at nearby Onchiyam, he said the probe by the Special Investigation Team into the murder was moving in the right direction.
He said he felt there was no need to hand over the probe to any other agency. The murder was most heinous crime and the culprit and all those behind it should face the law. None would be allowed to intervene and sabotage the probe, he said.
CPI-M had taken exception to the Minister's recent comments that only 'small fishes" had been caught (in connection with the murder) and the bigger sharks would be netted, accusing him of interference in the probe.

Meanwhile, in Kottayam, state DGP Jacob Punnoose dismissed reports that the SIT had released a CPI(M) local committee Secretary under pressure following a protest by Marxist leaders including M V Jayarajan yesterday.

He told reporters that CPI-M Koothuparamba Secretary C Babu, against whom a case was registered for allegedly providing shelter to those involved in the murder, was released as he was booked under a bailable section of IPC.

Kozhikode Police said a case had been registered against Jayarajan and more than 300 other party activists for taking out the protest rally without permission and obstructing traffic.
