‘Cong. decision to surrender and fight case in court’
Four more Congress and Youth Congress activists accused of vandalising actor Joju George’s car during a blockade of the Edappally-Vytilla national highway last week in protest against the surging fuel prices surrendered before the Maradu police on Monday.
Those surrendered are Tony Chammany, former Kochi Mayor; Manu Jacob, Youth Congress (YC) State general secretary; Jerges Jacob, president, YC Thammanam mandalam; and Joseph Maliyekkal, secretary, Congress Vytilla mandalam.
P.Y. Shajah, State Secretary, YC, and Arun Varghese, Ernakulam block secretary, YC, are reportedly on their way to surrender before the police.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
