UDF against reinvestigation, says Thankachan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: There is no need for a reinvestigation in the Suryanelli case, said UDF convenor P P Thankachan. The court had acquitted Kurien. Levelling allegation against him again is not correct, he said.

Thankachan rejected Kurien’s argument that a conspiracy had been hatched in the congress to take up the case again.

I don’t think anybody from the congress will do that, he said.

Nobody dares to threaten govt, says Thankachan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Nobody should try to threaten the government, said UDF convenor P P Thankachan. All sections of communities have given their due importance in the cabinet, Thankachan told reporters after the UDF meet.

Thankachan said that he doesn’t have anything more to say from what he had said yesterday in connection with the statement of NSS.

George should realise the worth of his position, says Thankachan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: UDF convenor P P Thankachan has come to the forefront against P C George’s insult of T N Prathapan MLA.


He said that George should realise the worth of the position he is in and should never have ridiculed Prathapan by commenting on his caste.


He alleged that George tends to go beyond limits while interacting with the media and he himself has personally advised him against it.


Whatever Prathapan said is just the natural reaction to George’s comment and he has the support of other Congress MLAs, said Thankachan.
