The Kerala High Court has issued a notice to Higher Education Minister R. Bindu on a petition challenging her election from the Irinjalakuda Assembly constituency. The petition was filed by Kerala Congress leader Thomas J. Unniyadan, who was defeated in the election. The petitioner contended that Ms. Bindu was behind several corrupt practices as defined in the Representation of the People Act. He submitted that Ms. Bindu had canvassed votes by misrepresenting herself as a professor. Copies of notices, pamphlets, and posters that were circulated and used by the candidate were also submitted before the court.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
