‘Misdeeds of some in the force have put govt. under a shadow’
The delegates meeting of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] district conference at Kumily on Tuesday demanded a separate Minister for Home Affairs as the police force in the State was being misused by some elements.
The delegates said the misdeeds of some in the force had put the government under a shadow despite its good work.
“A reshuffle was needed in the police force. The party should intervene for the effective functioning of the police system. Some elements in the police were working against the interests of the government. Some initiatives to find such actions and corrective measures were needed. The police association is not active and it had failed to identify those in the police force doing spy work and thereby giving a bad name to the good works done by the government,” said a paper at the delegates section.

The heat of the recently concluded local body elections spilled over into the first meeting of the newly elected council of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, as the Opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF) questioned the propriety of the 20 councillors to whom the Kerala High Court had issued a notice regarding their oaths, participating in the council.
