Kerala Congress Chief: CPM’s Message to Party Workers is ‘You Commit Violence, We Support You’

On Sunday, K Sudhakaran, president of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee and Lok Sabha MP, criticized the CPI-M, declaring that the message conveyed to its party members is, “You kill, we will support you.” Speaking in Kannur, he accused the CPI-M of being complicit in political assassinations across the state due to the protection it affords to the perpetrators. He asserted that political violence will cease only when the CPI-M renounces its culture of murder.

Sudhakaran’s remarks were made in light of the CPI-M’s alleged position of safeguarding those convicted in the Muzhappilangad Elambilai Suraj murder case.

“The CPI-M offers total protection to murderers. It is the party that sends them out to commit these atrocities. Previously, the party would present decoy suspects to deflect attention from the actual culprits, creating a pathway for them to evade justice. They handle everything—from legal matters concerning the accused to ensuring their families are supported with financial aid, employment, salaries, and even commemorative events,” Sudhakaran claimed.

He further accused the CPI-M of associating with the criminals and acting as a buffer for those engaged in illegal activities such as narcotics distribution and gold smuggling. “The CPI-M safeguards killers similar to how a terrorist organization nurtures its suicide bombers. They have provided protection for individuals involved in high-profile murder cases, including TP Chandrasekharan, Mattanur Shuhaib, Kripesh, Sarath Lal, and Ariyil Shukkur. Even a former District Panchayat President linked to the murder of ADM Naveen Babu has received their protection,” he said.

Sudhakaran highlighted that relatives of the accused in the Suraj murder case are employed in the Chief Minister’s Office, raising further concerns.

This criticism follows the Thalassery District Sessions Court’s ruling on Friday, which found nine CPI-M members guilty of the 2005 murder of BJP worker Suraj at Muzhappilangad, near Kannur.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
