KOZHIKODE: BJP state general secretary M. T. Ramesh said here on Sunday that since the CBI was probing the Marad case, the agency should also question P. K. Kunhalikkutty (Malappuram MP and Muslim League leader) over funding for the massacre. Mr Ramesh while addressing the media here said that the earlier allegations by the BJP about the role of the MP were also strengthened by the revelations by WikiLeaks.
"Since the CBI has started investigations into the Marad case, they should also investigate the role of Mr Kunhalikkutty. The WikiLeaks report quotes M. K. Muneer. Marad was the first experiment for Jihadi terror. E. Ahmed (late MP and former Union Minister) also had a role in it. The Marad Judicial Commission had clearly underlined the role of the CPM and Muslim League workers," he said.
The BJP leader added that the massacre was led by the NDF and it was supported by the CPM and IUML. "The stance of the CPM not to ban the Popular Front is a proof that they are supporting Jihadi terrorism," he said. Mr Ramesh added that the he did not support the provocative slogans raised during the Janaraksha Yatra. BJP district president T.P. Jayachandran also attended the press conference.
