People are getting to know of gold smuggling and black money deals following meticulous interventions on part of police. Several of quotation gang plots have crumbled owing to police action. People act as couriers bringing gold and money from abroad and upon arrival at the airport, entrust the contraband to a pre-arranged quotation team there. Then as part of the overseas plot another quotation team lays in wait and stages robbery. These mid-way gold loot have network of agents in the district. Some ,members of such gangs get rich quick, build palatial houses and become criminals in the society.
Kodakkara havala robbery is one of the major black money deald seen in recent times. It has now been proved that havala money running into crores was in fact transported by BJP for its election activities. The monies were meant to sabotage electoral verdict. However BJP not only failed to acomplish that goal but also ended up losing its lone sitting seat. Gold and black money consignments are being robbed on directions given by criminals of quotation gangs inside and outside of district, said Jayarajan.
Given that illicit gold and money are means to make quick buck, several people involved do not lodge police complaint when they get robbed, which is a big attraction for more to join these quotation gangs specializing in mid-way robberies. Parents should reprimand their children at a point when they lead extravagant lives and are seen spending money far exceeding their income. But several times, that just does not happen. Quotation gangs are disastrous to our society.
Puthankandam quotation gang formerly booked all quotation orders inside the district. They acted in an organized manner for people engaged in illicit money transactions. Mainstream media have reported their operations and some other quotation gangs outside have now descended on the scene to assist them.
Quotation gangs often conflict with one another and these frictions often end up in violent confrontations. And, some individuals try to give it political denomination to protect these criminals and their involvement. Then there are some who act as mediators when gang conflicts over robbed gold or money. Such engagements should be viewed as part of quotation activity.
Some quotation gang members masquerade as cyber activists on social media while some engage in charity works elsewhere. Some take part in marriage functions in conspicuously rich fashion with a view to developing social contacts at these functions. All these are masks that conceal their cruel innerself and illegal activities. The ugly faces of these quotation operatives will not however fade in the glitter of gorgeous clothing. Quotation has no politics. All political parties and mass organizations must isolate these quotation gangs.
There is no place in CPI(M) for any quotation gang member. CPI(M) does not need services of any quotation gang for its political propaganda or protection. People wish that other political parties too adopt similar stand. CPI() through its campaign seeks to spread awareness to shun quotation mafia activities and isolate people working for such gangs, said MV Jayarajan Thursday.
