Normal life was disrupted in Kerala for one day and in Alappuzha district for two days due to the dawn-to-dusk 12-hour hartal called by CPI-M led LDF to demand resignation of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy over the solar scam issue. State owned transport buses were off the road while shops, including hotels remained closed. Passengers, who arrived at railway stations and airports, were stranded due to non-availability of public transport. Party cadres from both ruling and opposition parties were manhandled and many party offices were set to fire. Many people were hospitalised because of grenade and petrol bomb attacks. All these violence is not because of the month long solar scam issue but because of the unprincipled interference of TV Channels particularly the Reporter channel.
The LDF strike was intensified due to the airing of an unfaithful disclosure by Reporter channel by a quarry owner by name Sreedharan Nair. Mr Sreedharan Nair is a trustworthy person for Opposition leaders but not for his quarry owner friends. Even the prime accused in the case Ms Saritha Nair says she was not with Sreedharan Nair when he met the CM July ninth 2012. If Saritha Nair is a dishonest woman for Opposition will they believe her if she says, she had slept with a minister in a forest resort?
Some callous persons are ready with country bombs before deceitful channels to hear a rubbish of political conspiracy and thereby to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere in the State. Mr Oommen Chandy is an elected Chief Minister and possesses still sufficient majority to rule the State and hence he should be given time to sort out the issue. The news channels in Kerala should not be permitted to hamper the peaceable atmosphere in the State.
