| Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said here on Sunday that the recent attack on the Kottakkal police station by National Development Front (NDF) activists was the only such incident after the 1972 naxalite attacks. The Government has, therefore, viewed it with utmost seriousness, he said.
Mr. Balakrishnan congratulated the police officers who foiled the attack and said they would be duly rewarded. Had the attack not been thwarted, it would have been a humiliation for the police, he said.
He said 22 people were arrested in connection with 11 attack cases in the district. Action would be initiated against more people who aided the attackers, he said.
A special squad of the police led by the Crime Detachment Deputy Superintendent of Police would investigate the killing of Lakshmanan at Othukkungal and the attack on Hameed at Parappanangadi, he said. The police had already arrested some Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) workers in connection with the attack on Hameed. The Home Minister said the financial sources of the communal forces, including the NDF and the RSS, would be investigated. Mr. Balakrishnan said strong action would be initiated against those giving armed training for communal attacks in the district. All organisations engaged in physical training would be under surveillance, he said.
He said leaders of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Indian Union Muslim League had initiated dialogues to end political clashes between the two parties along the coastal region.
A meeting of local political leaders held under his chairmanship on Sunday decided to work together, if needed, to restore peace in the region.
The CPI(M) leaders included K. Saidalikutty, party district secretary; A. Vijayaraghavan, MP; V. Sasikumar, MLA; P. Nandakumar, Democratic Youth Federation of India leader; and P.K. Sainaba, State Women's Commission member.
