CM visits Balakrishna Pillai

KOLLAM: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy visited Kerala Congress (B) leader Balakrishna Pillai, who is out on parole, at the latter’s residence at Valakam near Kottarakkara on Sunday.  

Chandy told reporters that he had not received any report from the Advocate- General on the early release of Balakrishana Pillai. Chandy had sought the advice of AG on the matter.

A section of media had earlier reported that the AG’s report stated that Balakrishna Pillai cannot be granted early release just by taking into consideration his age and health condition. Balakrishna Pillai termed the media reports as wrong.

Chandy was visiting Pillai for the first time since coming to power.
