HC raps Government, Saritha

KOCHI: Kerala High Court on Thursday expressed its own doubt over the “association” between the State government and mafias. “We suspect that there exist  “immoral relationships” among ministers, mafias and goons,” the court stated.   

The court made this observation while considering Kadakampally land cheating case involving Chief Minister’s gunman Salim Raj. The court also questioned why solar case accused Saritha S Nair took a detour via Puthapally while going to a court in Ernakulam. It asked the government counsel why Saritha was being given additional comforts. “How was she able to use cosmetic items in the jail? Do jails have beauticians?” the court asked.     

Asking how Saritha got costly Saris in jail, the court gave instruction to give her ordinary Saris. “If this is the situation nobody will fear to go to jail. People are watching all this. Remember that,” the court told the government advocate.  

TV channels splash old photo of Chandy, Saritha

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Some TV channels in Kerala on Sunday night aired a picture of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy with Saritha S. Nair, a woman arrested for an alleged role in a scam related to solar panels.

The picture was telecast hours before the Left opposition's proposed indefinite "secretariat siege", demanding Chandy's resignation over the scam.

The state secretariat is the seat of the Kerala government and the Left opposition has announced that starting Monday, no one will be allowed to enter until Chandy resigns over the solar scam.

Saritha and her business partner in the controversial "Team Solar company" had allegedly duped numerous investors of Rs.7 crores and the scandal has come to be known as the "solar scam".

The telephone call records of Saritha showed that she had been in frequent touch with members of the chief minister's personal staff, police said.

The alleged wrongdoings of the company became public in June and since then the Left opposition has been demanding the resignation of Chandy.

Saritha and her partner are both behind bars along with Teny Jopan, the former personal assistant of Chandy.

After the chief minister's photo with Saritha was splashed across TV channels, his party colleague Sooranad Rajasekharan said the picture did not mean much.

"Chandy is accessible to anyone and anyone can meet him and say anything to him, so this does not mean anything," said Rajasekharan.

Chandy earlier said in the assembly that he was told by his party workers that Saritha S. Nair was also present at a function in Kottayam district and this picture was taken there.

CPI (M) politburo member Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said Chandy should resign at the earliest.
