Chirayinkeezhu fracas: Ramya Haridas, district panchayat member Sajith Muttappalam let off with warning

The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee has warned Chirayinkeezhu MLA Ramya Haridas and district panchayat member Sajith Muttappalam against any recurrence of the public confrontation between the two leaders which had resulted in an open scuffle at Chirayinkeezhu a few weeks ago.

KPCC president Sunny Joseph has asked both leaders to work together and withdraw the cases filed against each other. The KPCC also instructed Ms. Haridas not to appoint Palayam Pradeep to her staff, whose role in the dispute had been one of the major points of contention between her and the local Congress leaders at Chirayinkeezhu.

The KPCC took the decision on the basis of the inquiry report given by senior Congress leader M.M. Hassan, who was asked by the party to look into the September 5 confrontation at the house of S. Sajad, a local Congress functionary.
