THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said here on Tuesday that the police had been directed to take strong action to suppress violence at Thalassery in Kannur district. Addressing a press conference, the Minister said that enough policemen were being deployed to trouble-prone villages, with higher officials camping there to direct action. Mr. Balakrishnan said the Kannur Superintendent of Police Mathew Polycarp had been shifted as he had failed to check the continuing violence. The senior-most police officer in the rank of Superintendent of Police Manoj Abraham would take charge of the district immediately. Director-General of Police Raman Srivastava would visit the district on Wednesday. He said the Communist Party of India (Marxist) was at the receiving end of violence in Kannur whether it was in power or not. It was the government’s policy that power would not be used to suppress political opponents. The Congress-led Opposition was campaigning that the CPI (M) could not protect its supporters even in the constituencies of the Home Minister and the Chief Minister. The violence by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was intended to create such an impression. The Opposition wanted to stir up anti-Marxist feelings which could help it in the coming Lok Sabha elections. The Opposition was thus encouraging the violence by the RSS and the Bharatiya Janata Party. He said the Revenue Divisional Officer had initiated bilateral talks between CPI (M) and BJP leaders to bring about peace.
