Just got reminded of the camaraderie exhibited by Chief Minister VS Achuthanandhan of Kerala upon assuming office in Kerala with Chief Minister Karunanadhi of Tamilnadu. There were a couple of letters exchanged between them about the fate of the PDP leader Abdul Naser Madhani currently lodged in the Coimbatore Central Prison undergoing trial for alleged involvement in the Coimbatore bomb blasts case of 1998. They even met in Madras and the Kerala CM's delegation visited Madhani in the Coimbatore prison. Sherlock Holmes would have seen a link between something gone awry in one of these talks to have irritated the Kerala Chief Minister who has been going hammer and tongs against the Tamilnadu Chief Minister ever since and Mullaperiyar appears to be caught in the cross fire. Or all this could be simply a figment of Holmes' imagination, who knows?
