The members of the IAS have the reputation of having turned the governance of this country to a synonym for corruption and treason. They tried openly to hold the Government of Kerala to ransom by declaring to go on mass leave but gave up on the CM taking a firm stand. They have then sought to go public through paid articles/news. One of them appeared on 10/1/17 and a series of four articles from 12 to 15/1/17 in the Malayalam daily Mathrubhumi. This a rejoinder to the first paid article.
