Former MP and veteran <keyword id="2179871" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Malayalam-actor-Innocent" source="Orion">Malayalam actor Innocent</keyword> died on Sunday at a private hospital here. He was 75. The actor, who was under treatment at the hospital since March 3, breathed his last at 10.30 pm. "He was infected with Covid and had respiratory issues along with multiple organ failure resulting in heart failure," the hospital said in a release. As the news of his death spread, social media was flooded with messages from people from all walks of life, including prominent actors and politicians, expressing their condolences and grief. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in a Facebook post condoled the actor's death and said that Innocent has left an indelible place in the minds of his audience with his spontaneous acting style. Vijayan also remembered him as a public activist who touched the lives of the people around him. Kerala will remember with gratitude that Innocent, who always had a left-wing mindset, became a Lok Sabha candidate at the request of the Left Democratic Front and after winning, prominently raised Kerala's demands in Parliament," he said in his post. Vijayan further said that Innocent's death was a great loss to the art and culture as well as the general political scene. "It is a total loss for Malayalees," he added. Leader of Opposition in the state assembly <keyword id="4007936" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="v-d-satheesan" source="Orion">V D Satheesan</keyword> also condoled the actor's death, saying that Innocent, who made everyone laugh for decades "has become a painful memory today". "Innocent, who has acted in more than 600 films, is one of the comedians who put <keyword id="25099" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="malayalam" source="Orion">Malayalam</keyword> cinema on the world map," he said. State Cultural Affairs Minister, Saji Cheriyan, took to Twitter to express his grief over the actor's demise. "Deeply saddened by the passing of legendary Malayalam actor and former MP #Innocent. His performances on screen brought joy to countless fans. As a parliamentarian, he fought for the welfare of his constituents. Rest in Power, sir. You will be missed. #innocentactor," he tweeted. Many popular actors, like Prithviraj Sukumaran, his brother Indrajith, <keyword id="6359579" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="manju-warrier" source="Orion">Manju Warrier</keyword>, and Tovino Thomas condoled Innocent's death on Twitter and Instagram. "End of an iconic chapter in cinema history! Rest in peace Legend! #Innocent," Prithviraj tweeted. "Pranaamam... #RIP #Innocent," Indrajith said on Instagram. "Thanks, Innocent chetta (brother)! For the laughs given... not only on screen but also in life...#RIP #actorinnocent," Manju Warrier posted in Malayalam on her Instagram. Senior actor Jayaram said Innocent's demise was another huge loss for Indian cinema. "I am at a loss for words at the moment as a brotherhood that lasted for over three decades has come to an end and I consider myself the luckiest to have known him and to have shared screen space with him throughout the years. My deepest condolences to the family. #RIP innocent etta," Jayaram posted on Instagram. BJP National Executive Committee Member Khushbu Sundar tweeted, "Devastated!! We have lost a great actor. Moreso a great human being. What a legend he was. With the passing away of #Innocent Sir, we have lost a priceless gem. May his soul rest in peace. Heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and his followers." Innocent entered the film industry as a producer and began his acting career, which included both comedy and character roles, in 1972. His latest movie was Prithviraj starrer 'Kaduva' and the last film he acted in was 'Pachuvum Atbuthavilakkum' directed by Anoop Sathyan, son of ace director Satyan Anthikad. Besides his acting career, he was active in politics also. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the actor was elected from Chalakudy constituency in Thrissur district as a Left Democratic Front (LDF) candidate but lost his constituency in the 2019 elections to Benny Behanan of the United Democratic Front (UDF). Innocent tried his luck at writing scripts and also sang a few songs in the films Mr Butler' and 'Sandram'. He was diagnosed with cancer twice and yet always maintained a positive attitude towards life, a fact remembered by many in their condolence messages on social media. The actor was admitted to the critical care unit of the hospital and was on ECMO support. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of cardiopulmonary support where the patient's blood is pumped and oxygenated outside the body using a machine. The actor-turned-politician has reportedly not been well for some time. A few years ago, he had been diagnosed with cancer but in 2015 he announced that he was finally cured of the disease.

After hearing multiple petitions demanding it's intervention, the court posted the case for August 10 and asked the government for its plan of action. The CPI-M backed bank informed the court that at present they have only Rs 60 lakh in cash, while they have assets which can be sold and depositors can be paid. It also pointed out that of the total deposit of Rs 284 crore, a sum of Rs 142 crore has matured. This fresh development comes a few days after <keyword id="6411346" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="leader-of-opposition" source="Orion">Leader of Opposition</keyword> V.D.Satheesan wrote to Vijayan demanding a <keyword id="6354572" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="cbi" source="Orion">CBI</keyword> probe into the bank fraud.

It's just not the employees alone that are involved, he aded. For the past few days allegations of the role of top CPI-M leaders from the district in the scam are being aired. On Tuesday, <keyword id="1139252" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="satheesan" source="Orion">Satheesan</keyword> told the media that Vijayan should immediately call an all-party meeting to discuss the issues of <keyword id="6388400" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="cooperative" source="Orion">Cooperative</keyword> banks as numerous banks in the cooperative sector are in dire straits. "Something has to be done by Vijayan. At the moment all that's happening is nothing but rhetoric and false promises and hopes being given to the hapless people who have deposited their hard earned money in such banks. An all-party meeting has to be convened as we have few suggestions on how the cooperative sector can be salvaged, as this is the backbone of our rural economy," he said.

Indian National Congress may have to wait for another 5 years to be in power in Kerala, but here is a look at winners from the party

Expressing solidarity with the people of Lakshadweep, the <keyword id="28504" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kerala">Kerala</keyword> Legislative Assembly on Monday unanimously passed a <keyword id="6359987" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Resolution">resolution</keyword> demanding the recall of island administrator Praful Khoda Patel and requesting the immediate intervention of the Centre to protect the lives and livelihood of the islanders. With this, Kerala has become the first state in the country to come up with a resolution to support the people of the union territory over the recent developments. An archipelago located in the Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep is witnessing protests by local people for some days over the recent actions and administrative reforms being implemented by Patel. Chief Minister Pinarayi <keyword id="6388414" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="vijayan">Vijayan</keyword> moved the government resolution, the first such motion in the 15th <keyword id="144407" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="state-Assembly">state Assembly</keyword>, reminiscing the historic and cultural bond between Kerala and Lakshadweep and criticising the Centre for allegedly trying to destroy the natural democracy there. Stating that the future of Lakshadweep is a matter of concern, he said any attempt to undermine its unique culture and indigenous lifestyle is unacceptable. Anyone who upholds Constitutional values should register a strong disagreement against the actions of the administrator of Lakshadweep, the Chief Minister urged. Setting aside their political differences, members of the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front and the Congress- headed United Democratic Front unanimously backed the resolution, except some amendments suggested by the latter. The hard-hitting resolution allegedthat attempts were being made to impose "saffronagendas" and "corporate interests" by destroying the unique way of life of Lakshadweep people. The implementation of the agenda, rolled out in the name of reforms, began with the painting of coconut trees with saffron colour and it has now grown to the level of destroying the traditional habitat, life and natural relationships of the island dwellers, it alleged. Steps have been taken to bring in the Goonda Act in the island where the crime rate is exceptionally low, it said. Pointing out that the authorities also aimed at destroying their traditional livelihood of fishing, the resolution said tents, where the fishermen's boats and nets are kept, have been rampantly destroyed. Through the attempt to exclude beef, which is part of the natural diet of the people of the territory, the Sangh Parivar agenda of banning cow slaughter was being implemented through the backdoor, it alleged. Thus, the administrator has taken the lead in annihilating the indigenous life and culture of the people of a territory inch by inch, the brief resolution further charged. Criticising the Centre's act of giving the administrator special powers to intervene into the affairs of various government departments, Vijayan said it amounted to undermining the island's natural democracy by deploying officials of their choice. "The recent developments in Lakshadweep should be seen as a laboratory of the Sangh Parivar agenda. They are attempting to change the culture, language, lifestyle and food habits of people of the country in tune with their ideology," the Chief Minister alleged. Strong resistance should be raised against this bid to enslave people of a territory to "corporate interests and Hindutva politics", he said. Stating that the central government has the responsibility to ensure that the unique features of the union territory and the native people are well-preserved, the Left veteran said the administrator, who posed a challenge to this, should be stripped of his responsibilities. Opposition <keyword id="1575" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Congress">Congress</keyword> leader V D Satheesan backed the resolution and said the agenda, being implemented by Patel under the garb of reforms, should be thrown in the Arabian Sea. The Congress and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) urged the government to directly criticise the BJP-NDA government at the Centre in the resolution.
