Kannur (Kerala) – Ten members of CPI (Marxists) have been convicted in the bomb blast case for their involvement in the attack fifteen years ago on the RSS and BJP members’ vehicle. The punishment has been given under different clauses and totals twenty-five years of imprisonment. As stated by Government pleader U Rameshan, the main accused, T V Binu, will be jailed for twenty-five years at a stretch since he was the one who had hurled the bomb at the vehicle. Some of the other accused are M K Pradip Kumar, P P Satthyan, P V Baburaj (who is a member of CPI (M) Panchayat), E V Vinod Kumar, Vijayan, K P Suresh Tobi, Janardan K V, and Shiv Prakash. All the accused have also been charged a fine of Rs 2.60 lakhs.

When did the incident occur?

The incident occurred on 27.11.2011. A vehicle carrying RSS and BJP members was bombed near Thimiri College in Kannur. There were strong arguments between the two groups about starting the RSS division, and on the previous day, there was a scuffle between them. At the time of the attack, 30 members were travelling in the vehicle, and nine of them were seriously injured in the attack.

Editorial Perspective

  • Ban should be imposed on CPI (M) that has members carrying out bomb blasts. All devout Hindu organisations across the country should unite and put pressure on the Government for taking such action.
  • Why don’t the secular political parties and fake progressive activists, who had demanded ban on Sanatan Sanstha based on false allegations, now demand ban on CPI (M) ?
  • Justice done after fifteen years is injustice.
