ADGP row: CPI urges removal of officers deviating from Left policies
The controversy surrounding senior Kerala police officer M R Ajithkumar's 2023 meeting with two RSS leaders continues, as the CPI, a key constituent of Kerala's ruling CPI(M)-led LDF, expressed displeasure on Thursday over his continued tenure as ADGP of law and order.
In an article in the party mouthpiece Janayugam, senior CPI leader K Prakash Babu said that whether the meeting was official or personal, it is the responsibility of the ADGP to clarify.
At the very least, such matters should be formally communicated to the police chief or the home department, he added.
The CPI leader further said that if the ADGP is unwilling to do so, he should be removed from his position.
"An officer who does not understand the pro-people stance of a people's government will lead the government into a crisis. This is the situation the ADGP has created," Prakash Babu remarked in the article.
He said that there is no doubt among national left-wing political parties that fascism in India manifests
