‘Suresh Gopi missing, probe needed'; KSU leader lodges complaint
THRISSUR: KSU district president Gokul Guruvayur has lodged a 'man-missing' complaint with the Thrissur City police, seeking a probe into the 'disappearance' of Union Minister and Thrissur MP Suresh Gopi. The police have not registered a case in that regard. In the complaint, the KSU leader alleged that Suresh Gopi went missing after the arrest of two Malayali nuns in Chhattisgarh. He urged the police to 'probe the whereabouts of the MP and to find those behind his disappearance'. According to his social media handles, Suresh Gopi is currently in Manipur on official duty as the Union minister of state for tourism and petroleum and natural gas. Meanwhile, BJP state president Rajeev Chandrasekhar brushed aside complaints that Suresh Gopi has been missing from his constituency. 'Everyone knows that when an MP becomes a Union minister, he will have additional responsibilities,' Chandrasekhar said. Further, the BJP leader said he would soon meet the Malankara Orthodox Church's Thrissur Diocese Metropolitan Mar Yuhanon Meletius. The bishop had indirectly targeted Suresh Gopi in a recent Facebook post, expressing concern that 'the one we chose and sent to Delhi is missing'.

Suresh Gopi ‘missing': KSU files complaint
1 2 Thrissur: KSU district president Gokul Guruvayur has filed a complaint at Thrissur East police station stating that Union minister Suresh Gopi was missing after the recent arrest of nuns in Chhattisgarh. In the complaint, the KSU leader said Gopi, who is the elected representative from Thrissur, was not seen anywhere in the constituency after the arrest of the nuns. He said it was important to locate where Gopi was and to find out who was behind his disappearance. He appealed to the police to take necessary steps. Sarcastic FB post Earlier, the metropolitan of the Thrissur diocese of Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, Yuhanon Mor Meletius, made a similar remark against Gopi. In a sarcastic Facebook post, Mor Meletius said: "The actor whom we had sent to Delhi from Thrissur Parliament seat is missing. We are concerned whether we should inform police." He said Gopi had not uttered a word even after repeated attacks against Christians in BJP-ruled states. On Sunday, the metropolitan gave a sharp response to BJP leader Shaun George for the latter's remark that none would be allowed to attack the 'Thirumenis'. George's remark was in the backdrop of the DYFI criticisms against archbishop Mar Joseph Pamplany. "Brother, you should not remain a mute spectator, not just to protect the bishops here, raise your hands also against those who are attacking the nuns, priests and pastors in North India," the metropolitan said in a Facebook post.
