CPM questions judgment 'nature'

The Left parties welcomed the judgment, however, the CPM said the judicial process should go on and energy should not be wasted in settling the matter outside the courts.

“In our Constitutional, secular, democratic system, the judicial process that includes recourse to the Supreme Court should be the only way to resolve the issue,” a party statement said.

However, it added that “there may be questions on the nature of the verdict” after it was fully studied. The party has appealed to people to maintain peace and communal harmony and not fall prey to any provocations.
