Written to Shah on case against two Kozhikode youths: Vijayan
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan informed the Assembly on Wednesday that he had written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to assign the case of two youths, arrested on the charge of being Maoist sympathisers, back to the Kerala Police.
His statement came a day after he had refused to approach the Centre on the arrest of Allen Shuaib and Thaha Fazil — both said to be Communist Party of India-Marxist workers and students of law and journalism.
Both were arrested in November last year from their hometown Kozhikode after police allegedly seized Maoist leaflets that condemned the central government”s action in Jammu and Kashmir.
