Protestors created the situation for beating, Kodiyeri and Jayarajan justify act of clash over SilverLine

KANNUR: Kannur district secretary M V Jayarajan came forward justifying the act of CPM workers handling the protestors against SilverLine. Jayarajan said the problem is being created by mobile protestors and Congress workers and they are threatening to kill the officials.

The strike staged did not have the landlords and was without the support of the people. He said that even after the media received visuals threatening to kill the official, did not release it.

CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan also came forward justifying the beating. The Congress and the BJP are creating the situation for beating. The stones removed by the UDF were restored by the LDF and there is nothing wrong in it. Kodiyeri clarified that thrashing is not a solution to anything.

Meantime, stones would not be laid in the place where a clash broke out. Authorities said that it is a technical glitch.

CPM activists thrashed the protestors who were against the laying of survey stones at Nadal in Kannur. The activists thrashed and chased the protestors by a team led by Edakkad local committee secretary. The police had taken both the groups into custody.

Nearly ten congress activists staged the protest. The CPM activists beat and chased them away. Police reached the spot and took the attackers into custody. There was a situation where the activists were seen shouting at the police. The laying of stones was disrupted due to the protests.

Later the congress activists came and removed the stones laid. The people in the area have no complaint and the CPM activists asked the congress activists to go back.

There were protests at Chala in Kannur. Stone laying was stopped following the protest in Nadal. The laying resumed with the help of the police.
