SNDP Yogam urges Political Fronts to ensure fair representation for Backward Communities

CHERTHALA: At a meeting held at the Karapuram Residency in Cherthala, the SNDP Yogam Board of Directors expressed full support for the leadership's actions regarding legal challenges concerning the organization's elections and annual general meeting. Presided over by President M.N. Soman and inaugurated by General Secretary Vellappally Natesan, the board commended the leadership's efforts to maintain unity and stability, asserting that the legal battle must be vigorously pursued to protect the organization's rights and traditions.

The board also addressed the upcoming assembly elections, approving a resolution presented by CV Shaji that calls on all political fronts to ensure fair representation for backward communities.
