The suicide of ADM Naveen Babu has sent shockwaves through Kerala, with the Congress party demanding justice and accusing the CPM of playing a role in his tragic death. The incident has sparked outrage and accusations of political harassment, highlighting the tensions between the two major political parties in the state. Congress leaders, including K Sudhakaran, V D Satheesan, and Ramesh Chennithala, have been vocal in their condemnation of the CPM's alleged role in Babu's suicide, accusing them of creating a climate of fear and intimidation where even Left sympathisers feel threatened. They allege that Kannur district panchayat president P P Divya, a CPM leader, publicly humiliated Babu, leading to his ultimate decision to take his own life.
The Congress leaders have called for immediate action against Divya, demanding that abetment charges be filed against her. They also highlighted Babu's background as a CPM family member and a Leftist, emphasizing that even opposition members considered him an honest officer. The accusations against Divya center around her alleged insults directed towards Babu during his farewell meeting, which they argue were malicious and contributed to his suicide. The incident has been described as a 'public trial' by the CPM, which ultimately resulted in Babu's death.
The tragedy has sparked widespread condemnation, with many expressing concern about the culture of political intimidation and harassment in Kerala. The Congress leaders have called for a comprehensive investigation into the matter, demanding accountability and justice for Babu's family. The incident underscores the deep political divisions in Kerala and raises concerns about the potential for political pressure and abuse of power to have devastating consequences. The investigation will likely focus on the allegations against Divya and the role of the CPM in Babu's death, while the Congress party will continue to demand justice and accountability for the alleged harassment and abuse that contributed to his suicide.
