The Sangh Parivar and the BJP were stoking communal divisions and resorting to political assassinations to clamber back to political relevance. The SDPI played second fiddle to the BJP to divide the State into religious lines to reap political dividends, alleges V. D. Satheesan
Leader of the Opposition V. D. Satheesan on Monday took exception to the BJP interpretation that his criticism of Governor Arif Mohammed Khan was tantamount to supporting the State government.
Mr. Satheesan said he had criticised Mr. Khan for endorsing the government’s “unlawful” decision to extend the term of the Kannur University vice-chancellor beyond the retirement age. The Governor approved the extension initially and then backtracked.

“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.
