THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala ridiculed CPI state secretary Kanam Rajendran’s stand for not reacting on the police lathicharge towards CPI leaders. How long the CPI would go forward with these outrages, Chennithala told reporters here.

Chennithala condemned the police action. The hands of the ruling MLA was fractured and party secretary sustained head injuries. Chief Minister has transformed the Kerala Police into a police force that oppresses all those who struggle against the ruling party.

He condemned CPI state secretary Kanam Rajendran’s stand for failing to respond on the stance of the police and the government. It is understandable why the CPI does not come forward to fight these draconian measures. Police resorted to lathicharge in the march staged by CPI towards the DIG office yesterday. Many including MLA Eldo Abraham were injured in the lathicharge.
