Mani’s arrest.

The arrest of CPI-M leader M M Mani is due to  the error of his counsel who advised him not to  turn up for a polygraph test for the probe in connection with his controversial speech about elimination of party rivals. The counsel should have evaluated this possibility too. Mani’s arrest is not a big news as his crime deserves punitive action. The CPM-M calling a hartal In Idukki is just  because they have no good business at present in the State. It could be presumed that hartal would continue as the next person going to be arrested is party’s district secretary himself, who is also one accused in the case.

Mani's speech caused embarrassment to all and hence some sort of check is needed for those who make fuss  with their loose tongues.
