Kasaragod, Jun 21: After the family members of NRI businessman Parayil Sajan, who committed suicide on June 18, has alleged that he ended his life after the Communist Party of India (Marxist)-ruled Anthoor municipality denied the mandatory permission to his newly constructed multi-crore convention centre at Bakkalam in Kannur, the Kannur party leadership is seeking to blame municipal officials for the delay in issuing the permits.

CPI (M) district secretary M.V. Jayarajan, who visited the bereaved family on Thursday along with party leaders P. Jayarajan and P.K. Sreemathy, said the municipal officials were responsible for the delay in issuing the permits for Sajan’s Partha Convention Centre. 

Anthoor municipal chairperson P.K. Shyamala, wife of senior CPI(M) leader M.V. Govindan, had already said his applications for the permits had been handled by municipal officials. Minister for Local Self-Government A.C. Moideen announced in Thiruvananthapuram that four officials of the municipality were placed under suspension pending inquiry.

Efforts to blame the municipal officials are being made in the wake of the allegation by Sajan’s family that Ms. Shyamala had deliberately created issues, delaying the issuance of permits. A CPI(M) sympathiser, Sajan had tried to get the permits with the help of Mr. P. Jayarajan. Sources close to the family said the chairperson had been bent on creating problems even after Sajan rectified the problems raised by the officials.

Meanwhile, the Congress demanded that the municipal chairperson and the secretary be charged with murder. Inaugurating a party workers’ march to the municipality office on Thursday, District Congress Committtee president Satheeshan Pacheni said it was learnt that Sajan had left a suicide note in which he had mentioned the names of the municipal authorities and officials.

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.
