Finance Minister K M Mani and Water Resources Minister P J Joseph met Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Thursday and urged him not to let issues related to Nellimapathy or P C George submerge broad agrarian issues.

“I told the Chief Minister that the acts of Satheesan and Pratapan had taken away the grace of the government in its efforts to address the issue,’’ Mani told ‘Express.’ “It is a psychological war going on against small farmers,’’ he said and added that the excess or illegally possessed land in the custody of big companies should be taken over but marginal settler farmers, who eke a living out of their holdings for quite a long time, should not be harassed.

Kerala Congress (Jacob) chairman Johny Nelloor, who was one of the members of the UDF sub-committee, said that there was no encroachment of forest land in Nelliampathy as was being made out by the two MLAs.
