'Cyber attack allegations by Shailaja are false'

A day after Vadakara’s Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate KK Shailaja lodged a complaint with the Election Commission over cyber attacks, Congress candidate Shafi Parambil on Wednesday, April 16 called it false accusations. Shailaja had said the cyber attacks would not have happened without the knowledge of Shafi Parambil.At a public meeting in Nadapuram on Wednesday, Shafi said there was a conscious effort to create provocation and urged workers to be more careful while using social media. “They are telling some non-existent stories and making accusations against us. That’s where I urge you to be cautious in the field, digital space and phone. There may be deliberate attempts to provoke us. Some people would create small issues that lead to big conflicts,” he said.KK Rama, Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) leader and wife of slain party leader TP Chandrasekharan, condemned the cyber attack and extended her support to Shailaja. Holding a press meet, they alleged the cyber attack shows the failure of the home department. KK Rema said no action was taken by the department when such complaints were raised by women in the past, which resulted in the latest incident. In a press meet on March 15, Shailaja alleged that the Congress is resorting to personal attacks against her and spreading misinformation online. Shailaja alleged that her morphed pictures were posted on an Instagram page titled ‘Ente Vadkara KL18’, which contains posts supporting Congress.  KK Shailaja files complaint with EC against Shafi Parambil over cyber attackSubscribe to TNM to get the complete story, not the convenient one.
