KOCHI: Kerala High Court has observed that threatening messages against the Chief Minister of Kerala are not only against an individual, but they are against democracy and ultimately against the people who participated in a democratic process. Justice P V Kunhikrishnan said that such action should be handled with the iron hand of law, with a message to society.
The court made the remarks while dismissing a petition filed by Abijith M, of Kannur, a bank employee, who had sent a message to the additional private secretary to the CM, stating, “I will kill Pinarayi Vijayan” soon after the 2021 assembly election results were announced, seeking to quash the case.
