Slamming efforts to portray Kannur as a hotbed of violence, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said the perpetrators in the murder case of CPI(M) worker Haridas will be brought to book.
Expressing annoyance at allegations raised by Najeeb Kanthapuram (IUML) of Kannur being termed the ‘national crime capital’ by the National Crime Records Bureau in the Assembly, Mr. Vijayan claimed the State was known for having the best law and order system in place.
“While there have been attempts to trigger unrest in the district, the police have been successful in reining in such tendencies. No efforts are being spared to nab mischief makers,” he said.
