Leader of Opposition V. D. Satheesan said on July 1 that the people of Kerala know that those who wanted to shift the allegations against the ruling Left government were behind the incident of hurling an explosive in front of the State headquarters of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday midnight (June 30.)
Stating that the Congress and the United Democratic Front had never supported such attacks, Mr. Satheesan asked how the CPI(M) leadership could blame the UDF for the incident. “There is no clarity in the CCTV footage of the incident. The CPI(M) seems to have prepared a statement in the night itself blaming the UDF for the incident without any evidence. Let the Police investigate and find out those behind it,” he said, in Kochi.
