The Kerala High Court has refused to put a stay on the screening of the Empuraan film while hearing a plea of former BJP Thrissur district committee member Vijeesh Vettam.
The Income Tax Department has frozen the bank account of the CPI (M) Thrissur District Committee. The action reportedly is based on the finding that the account was not reflected in the annual returns filed by the party.
In a statement issued, the CPI (M) clarified that its income-expenditure accounts are regularly submitted to both the Income Tax Department and the Election Commission annually, including those of the Thrissur District Committee.
