CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday rejected Chief Minister Oommen Chandy’s offer to include a CPM nominee in the panel to examine the CCTV visuals from the Secretariat.
“Several experts have pointed out that the visuals could be retrieved from the server. The manufacturer could also retrieve it upon a directive from the police,” he said.
Pinarayi said that the media reports on the SCRB IG’s complaint that he was threatened by a top official for leaking call details of Saritha, pointed to the role of the Home Minister in sabotaging a fair probe. “Thiruvanchoor has no right to continue in his office,” Pinarayi said.
‘Thiruvanchoor Should Reveal Names’ Pinarayi said that the Home Minister’s revelation in the Assembly that Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Mullappally Ramachandran had asked him to frame some CPM leaders in the T P Chandrasekharan murder case reaffirmed the CPM stand on the issue. Thiruvanchoor should reveal the list of names suggested by Mullappally, Pinarayi said.
