Govt trying to clip Lok Ayukta’s wings: Kunhalikutty

The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has lashed out at the Left Democratic Front (LDF) Government, accusing it of trying to cut the powers of the Lok Ayukta.

IUML national general secretary P.K. Kunhalikutty said here on Tuesday that the government was trying to make a retrograde and condemnable move unheard of in the history of democracy in Kerala. “This is unimaginable for us. No government that ruled Kerala in alternate terms has dared to commit such an undemocratic act,” he said.

Mr. Kunhalikutty said that the United Democratic Front (UDF) would campaign against the government move as “it would take back the country from the development and democratic reforms it achieved through a series of struggles”.
