K T Jaleel 's Judas jibe at archbishop; veiled death threat, says BJP

CPM-backed independent MLA and former minister K T Jaleel's Facebook post on Thalassery archbishop Mar Joseph Pamplany's statement promising farmers' support to the BJP in LS polls if the Centre fixed a minimum support price (MSP) of Rs 300 for rubber has sparked a controversy, with BJP state president K Surendran demanding that a criminal case be registered against Jaleel for issuing a "blatant threat" to the archbishop's life.
