Chennai, Nov 3 (Inditop.com) The Communist Party of India-Marxist’s (CPI-M) Tamil Nadu unit Tuesday demanded the state government take disciplinary action against the four police officials indicted by by the Madras High Court recently in the attack on lawyers.
“The state government must implement the court order against the officials while holding talks with the lawyers to avoid boycott of courts in the future,” CPI-M state secretary N. Varadarajan said, according to a statement issued here.
A two member bench of the Madras High Court Thursday held that the Feb 19 attack by the police on the lawyers was an attack on the judiciary and ordered disciplinary action against former city police commissioner K. Radhakrishna, now an additional director general of police, and three other senior officials – A.K. Viswanathan, M. Ramasubramani, and Premanandan.
While the counsel for the state government told the court that the government would implement its order, no action has been taken against the officials till date.
The CPI-M leader also demanded the Prime Minister to drop Telecom Minister A. Raja over the spectrum allocation issue while urging the Chief Justice of India to take action against P.D. Dinakaran, chief justice of Karnataka High Court, for land encroachment.
