KOZHIKODE: Former Maoist
leader Murali Kannampilly has raised suspicion over the killing of four
suspected Maoists at Agali in Palakkad. Commenting on the issue, he
stated a similar encounter killing in the past had turned out to be
fake.
Talking to TNIE in the backdrop of
Subaltern Festival which concluded here on Tuesday, Kannampilly said
that early news revealed that at the site of encounter there were
cooking pots and the suspected Maoists were encircled and ambushed while
having food.
But later reports based on locals who
accompanied the police revealed there were no signs of any temporary
settlement or cooking pots in the area. “This shows that the state
intended to kill them and not apprehend them,” he said.
“The fact that the incident allegedly
happened at 12.30 pm and more or less at the same time the news flashed
across all channels is the telling sign of a pre-planned attack,” he
added.
Murali also criticised the chief
minister for not using the machinery for apprehending instead of
killing. “The chief minister could have very well instructed the police
to apprehend them alive as much as possible and use the gun as the last
resort,” he said. Lamenting that such incidents cannot happen without
the green signal from the highest echelons of the government, he also
pointed that the first fake encounter killing in Kerala of Varghese, the
murders of REC student Rajan and Vijayan all happened during the
communist regimes. “These parties have long ago abandoned the commitment
to Marxism,” he added.
Walayar incident
Commenting on the mysterious deaths of
two Dalit siblings in Walayar, Murali stated that society has become
more sensitive and reactive to such issues. He said the response of the
mother and father of the girls on the judicial verdict itself shows that
people are gaining the courage to question judicial miscarriage of
justice.
“People won’t stand suffering for too
long. The will respond to injustice and it will manifest in various
forms. The solidarity of people against quarrying, cutting across
political differences, are signs of it as well,” he said. Citing the
future of people’s movement, he said it won’t just be the marginalised
who will rise.Murali did not conceal his conviction about the Maoist idea of armed revolution. He said he did not ...
