AK Antony Challenges Kerala Government Over Reports on Past Incidents
A.K. Antony, who used to be in charge of Kerala, is speaking out about some old events.
The current leader, Pinarayi Vijayan, had criticized Antony about how police acted in the past.
Antony responded by asking the current government to show the public what the CBI and Justice Iyer reports said about two specific incidents: one where people were removed from their land in Muthanga and another at Sivagiri.
Antony said he was following court orders during the Sivagiri incident.
He expressed regret for the Muthanga incident.
He wants everyone to see the full story.
A.K. Antony challenged the Kerala government to release reports on past incidents.
The challenge came after Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan criticized police actions during Antony's time.
Antony addressed the Muthanga eviction in 2003 and the Sivagiri incident in 1995.
The Muthanga incident involved the eviction of Adivasis demanding land rights.
Antony said he had to comply with the Kerala High Court’s order regarding the Sivagiri incident.
