Unusual protest against CM Satheesan; DCC member Chenthi Anil arrested

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A person was arrested for staging an unusual protest against the Chief Minister in Chenthi on Friday. The Sreekaryam police arrested DCC member Chenthi Anil. He was subjected to a medical examination at the General Hospital. Anil will be produced in court at 11 am today. He has been charged with obstructing the Chief Minister's official work, unjustly stopping him, indecent behaviour, and obstructing traffic.

Anil, along with his followers, blocked the convoy in protest against the Chief Minister's decision not to participate in the Chathayam day program to be held in Chenthi yesterday. While he was on his way to participate in the Chathayam program at Sree Narayana Gurukulam in Chempazhanthi, a group led by Congress district leader Chenthi Anil stopped the Chief Minister's vehicle. The Chief Minister reportedly got out of the vehicle and asked Anil to talk politely. However, Anil replied, "What will happen if I don't talk politely?"

Meanwhile, Anil claims that the Chief Minister had agreed to attend the Chathayam day program in Chenthi months ago.

“Yesterday, police officials came and inspected the place. However, the Chief Minister, who had reached the wedding house in Ulloor, did not attend the program in Chenthi. When the Chief Minister's motorcade was stopped to convince him to attend the event, Satheesan alighted from the vehicle and behaved rudely. The security officials even pushed away a senior leader like Peethambara Kurup,” said Chenthi Anil.
