Following Anvar's allegations against the chief minister and the party, CPM activists had staged a protest in Nilambur yesterday with murder slogans against Anvar.

Slogans were raised during the protest, including 'Anvar's hand and leg would be chopped off and thrown into the river if Govindan Mash snaps a finger'. The demonstration was held with a banner saying "Don't play with the red flag". At the end of the demonstrations, PV Anvar's effigy was also burnt.
