Venugopal calls for CEC Gyanesh Kumars arrest; CWC, INDIA Bloc to discuss EC row
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 25 (IANS) AICC General Secretary and Organising Secretary, K.C. Venugopal, on Friday demanded the arrest of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, saying his resignation was not the need of the hour, as reports of serious differences within the Election Commission of India (ECI) over its decisions and processes triggered a fresh political confrontation. Venugopal said the issue would be discussed by the Congress Working Committee at a meeting to be convened next week. He also said a meeting of the INDIA Bloc would be held to discuss the developments surrounding the Election Commission. The remarks came against the backdrop of investigative media reports that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections internally to decisions and processes of the poll panel over the past 10 months. The three-member Election Commission is headed by the Chief Election Commissioner, who is first among equals rather than the senior most member, with decisions expected to be taken unanimously as far as possible. In Thiruvananthapuram, Congress leaders and workers marched towards the Lok Bhavan on Friday demanding the immediate removal of Gyanesh Kumar. The protest was part of the Congress' campaign against the functioning of the Election Commission, with the party demanding action against CEC Gyanesh Kumar over what it described as serious violations of the principles governing the poll panel. The controversy has centred particularly on the functioning of the Commission during electoral-roll revision exercises, including the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). CPI(M) leader and former Kerala Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, also attacked Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that the credibility of the Election Commission, an institution responsible for ensuring free and fair elections, was being seriously undermined. Vijayan alleged that the CEC had overridden legal opinions recorded by the other two Election Commissioners and had undermined the collective functioning of the Commission. He also alleged that non-transparent decisions were being imposed in electoral-roll revision exercises such as SIR and Special Summary Revision, and demanded Kumar's immediate removal. Vijayan called for the revision processes to be stopped and for the voting rights of those allegedly excluded unfairly from the electoral rolls to be restored. He urged democratic forces to participate in nationwide protests scheduled from September 26 to October 2, describing them as a campaign to protect the Constitution and democratic institutions.

Kerala: BJP demands FIR against Pinarayi, daughter in CMRL case
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 25 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday demanded registration of an FIR and a full investigation into the CMRL-Exalogic case against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T. Veena and her husband, former Minister P.A. Mohammed Riyas. He alleged that the CPI(M) and Congress were attempting to divert attention from the Exalogic allegations by targeting senior BJP leader V. Muraleedharan. Chandrasekhar, the party MLA from Nemom, said the BJP would firmly stand with Muraleedharan and resist what he described as a political campaign against him. Muraleedharan has denied the allegations. Chandrasekhar pointed out that Muraleedharan was neither a Minister, MP nor MLA during the period to which the allegations relate. The BJP leader said key questions in the Exalogic case must be answered through a proper investigation: Who paid the money? Who received it? Why was it paid? What were the political links behind it? Chandrasekhar alleged that the accusations against Pinarayi Vijayan and Riyas required investigation under the Prevention of Corruption Act. He said the Enforcement Directorate had provided information to the State Police Chief, and therefore the government should register an FIR and conduct a detailed probe. Instead, the government has ordered a preliminary inquiry by an SIT, he said, questioning the need for another preliminary probe when the stage had already been reached for FIR registration. This naturally raises several questions, he remarked. Chandrasekhar also questioned why the V.D. Satheesan government was not ready to register an FIR and investigate the allegations, alleging that the government feared the probe could reach Congress and Indian Union Muslim League leaders. He accused the Congress and CPI(M) of engaging in a political fight while being one. Chandrasekhar said the BJP would continue to defend Muraleedharan against attempts to divert attention from the Exalogic case. He demanded a transparent, lawful investigation into the allegations against Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter, and Riyas.
