Case against AICC secretary for remarks on Pinarayi

The police have registered a case against Congress leader and All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary Viswanatha Perumal who made objectionable remarks linking gold smuggling case accused Swapna Suresh with Chief Minister Pinarayi Minister during a protest meeting in Kannur. The Kannur town police registered the case under Section 153 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) based on a complaint registered by Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] activist P.K. Biju. Mr. Perumal made the remarks during a speech in connection with a march towards the Kannur Commissioner’s Office March organised by the Congress. The complaint alleged that the Congress leader’s remarks were defamatory and made with a malicious statement to incite riots. Mr. Perumal is a leader from Tamil Nadu.
