Fishermen’s death: VS suspects conspiracy in payment of damages

Thiruvananthapuram, Saturday, April 28, 2012: Opposition leader VS Achuthanandhan alleged conspiracy in the compromise formula reached in the fishermen shooting incident.
There are moves going on to sabotage the case. VS also said that without the knowledge of the central or the state govt, this kind of compromise would not be reached and sought a detailed probe into the conspiracy entered with the Italian officials.
The Kerala govt prepared an FIR favouring the Italian marines. The change of stand of the defendant is a shame for India and the state should make its stand clear.
VS also condemned the Health Ministry’s statement to speak to the officials of the insecticide company when preparing the report on the Kasargod endosulphan issue. The state should be prepared to oust those officials who lobby with the endosulphan officials and the minister should clarify if the letter was sent with his knowledge.
The row erupted when the Health dept sent out a letter to the Kozhikode Medical College Community medicine Department, which prepared the report.
