Panoor Bomb Blast: BJP, Cong Continue To Blame CPI(M), Left Party Denies Allegations

Kerala BJP president K Surendran alleged the involvement of senior CPI(M) leaders in the incident and suggested a conspiracy aimed at attacking BJP and RSS leaders in the state during the elections.

The controversy surrounding the recent blast in Kannur district continued on Thursday with BJP and Congress in Kerala mounting allegations against CPI(M) of being involved in the incident. The blast that took place on April 5 resulted in the loss of one life and injured three others in Panoor of Kannur district. However, the Left party denied any involvement in the blast. 

K Surendran, the BJP state president, alleged the involvement of senior CPI(M) leaders in the incident and suggested a conspiracy aimed at attacking BJP and RSS leaders in the state during the elections.

On the contrary, Rahul Mamkootathil, the Youth Congress state president, asserted that the bombs manufactured in Panoor were meant to target the UDF, as the CPI(M) in Kerala is allied with the BJP.

Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) demanded a CBI probe and also alleged that Kerala police were helping DYFI. KPCC acting president MM Hassan said, "The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee today demanded CBI inquiry on Panoor bomb blast case. Now Kerala police's inquiry is helping the culprits belonging to the DYFI. CM Pinarayi Vijayan is holding the home portfolio to give direction to the police to suppress the investigation and to help the culprits of CPM workers."

"So I demanded the Election Commission to direct the CBI to inquire into this bomb blast case as it is really a terrorist activity and the culprits should be punished," he said, as per ANI.

CPM Denies Allegation

CPI(M) state secretary M V Govindan refuted the accusations, stating that the Left party had no involvement in either the blast or the production of the bombs.

"The party has no role in it. We have no need to make bombs. Many of our workers were attacked and killed. We did not retaliate. Instead, we organised public protests against the same. So, we have no need for bombs," he told reporters in Kannur.
