Former Kerala minister, Mr R. Balakrishna Pillai, undergoing imprisonment in a corruption case, has been slapped with a notice by the prison authorities for lashing out at Chief Minister Mr V. S. Achuthanandan while on a 10-day parole.
In his notice, ADGP (Jail), Mr Alexander Jacob, charged Mr Pillai with violating parole conditions by talking to reporters in the jail premises and criticising Mr Achuthanandan.
Cancellation of parole
The notice warned that his parole would be cancelled if he violated the terms further, prison sources said.
The notice said if a prisoner had any grievance, it should be given in writing to the Jail Superintendent or the sessions judge concerned should be informed through a letter using the complaint box, the sources said.
Mr Pillai, the Kerala Congress (B) leader, was granted 10 days parole on April 20 to visit his wife, who is undergoing medical treatment.
Coming out of the jail, Mr Pillai alleged that he did not even get the normal facilities in prison and blamed Chief Minister and CPI-M leader Mr V. S. Achuthanandan for it.
