Chandy writes second letter to PM on 'beef' row

October 29, 2015 21:34

Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy today wrote his second letter in three days to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Kerala House 'raid' episode pointing out legal violation by the Delhi police and maintained that the state would resort to legal action if it did not receive a satisfactory reply from the Centre.

The state views the act of the Delhi police, who raided the state-run guest house on October 26, "as one of total disregard of niceties and refinement by the police which is controlled by the Centre in a constitutionally federal structure," he said.

The chief minister maintained in the letter that the state would resort to legal action if it did not receive a satisfactory reply from the Centre. The Congress-led UDF government had yesterday threatened to take legal action over police 'raid' at Kerala House on complaints of cow meat being served there, if the "mistake" was not admitted, and said it had affected Centre-State relations.

"We are waiting for the reply from the Centre," Chandy said while speaking at a meet-the-press programme here earlier in the day.
