TDP in a fix over re-post mortem

By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, MARCH 5. Kondaiah, the father-in-law of the slain Penukonda MLA, Paritala Ravi, met the Telugu Desam Party president, N. Chandrababu Naidu, at his residence on Saturday.

Mr. Kondaiah along with three others from Anantapur district met the TDP chief in wake of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team's request to the Ramagiri MRO to allow re-post mortem of the mortal remains of Ravi.

In fact, Ravi's widow, Sunita, was expected to meet the TDP president but failed to come to the city.

Party leaders were also surprised that none of the TDP leaders from Anantapur accompanied Mr. Kondaiah.

Sources maintained that the TDP high command had left the decision on the sensitive issue to the family members. Party leaders are in fix as there is stiff opposition from the family members and residents of Venkatapuram.

Sensitive issue

The party feels helpless as it cannot openly oppose the CBI request, which can hamper the progress of investigation.

A senior TDP leader said the party could do little in preventing the CBI from carrying out its task. "It is a clash between sentiment on the one hand and the duty being performed by the CBI on the other," he said.

The party also voiced concern at the turn of events if the CBI went ahead with the re-post mortem.

"If at all the CBI is determined to carry out a second post-mortem, it should take adequate police protection to prevent any untoward incident," party sources maintained.
