Mohammed Rafi should be conferred with Bharat Ratna: Congress

Thiruvananthapuram: With the local body elections to be held in November and the assembly polls early next year, Congress’ Kerala unit president V.M.Sudheeran on Tuesday expressed his displeasure in the breach of discipline in the party.

Speaking at the special executive meeting of the party, Sudheeran also asked leaders at all levels to see that they are not engaged in a war of words in public and made it amply clear that under no circumstances would breaches of party discipline be tolerated.

Factionalism in the state unit has been long-standing and party posts and seats have always been divided between the various sections of the party.

“Winnability and the overall acceptance of the candidate will be the benchmark when it comes to selecting candidates for the local body polls and it will not be divided on the basis of factions,” said Sudheeran in the meeting at the party headquarters here.

A reason attributed for the hyper-activity in the Congress and factionalism raising its head is the triumph at the recent Aruvikara by-election, when the party candidate K.Sabarinathan won the seat, which was held by his father and assembly speaker G.Karthikeyan who passed away early this year.

Sudheeran pointed out that it is of utmost importance to retain power as the value of it is realised only when out of power.

Meanwhile, a senior Congress leader, who did not want to be identified, told IANS that after the Aruvikara victory, these seems to be a ‘feel good’ factor for the party and even the Left opposition has a feeling that history will be made, as never before in the history of the state, has a sitting government retained power. “A clear picture would emerge during the upcoming local body election,” said the leader.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
