KPCC Digital Media Cell convener P. Sarin has written to the Director General of Police, demanding that cases be charged against four persons, who are public servants, for making inflammatory statements on social media in the wake of the Kalamassery blasts, which could potentially trigger communal tensions and disharmony.
Dr. Sarin has picked put comments by four public persons on social media—the CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan; BJP leader Sandeep G. Warrier; former MP Sebastian Paul, and the convener of the South India chapter of Trinamool Congress Riva Tholoor Philip—which he claimed were deliberate, clearly targetted at igniting communal feelings, and were politically motivated. He demanded that cases be charged against all four, with suitable sections of IPC, including 153 (A).
