CPI wants stern action against killers of Kalburgi

The Puducherry unit of CPI today urgd stern action against those involved in the murder of the rationalist and Kannada scholar M M Kalburgi at his residence on August 30.
A resolution adopted at the meeting of the State council of the party said Kalburgi was a rationalist. Those involved in the murder should be exposed and stern action should be taken against them by the authorities, it said.
It also alleged that those championing progressive ideas and rationalist thoughts were facing insecurity and this situation should not be let to continue.
The meeting also took strong exception to frequent rise in power tariff hitting common man in Puducherry. "While big industrialists were let to remain defaulters for months together without paying the power bills, common man is being held to ransom by the local government", the resolution said.
