WAYANAD: Opposition leader VD Satheesan on Monday lashed out at the SFI activists for attacking Rahul Gandhi's MP's office in Kalpetta. Satheesan alleged that SFI activists were behaving like goondas. Strongly condemning the attack, Satheesan said that CPM had become an organized mafia.

At the same time, Congress leader KC Venugopal alleged that the attack was carried out with the knowledge of the leadership. "The attack took place under police protection. Nearly 500 SFI activists took part in the protest. About 40 of them stormed into the office and vandalized the belongings," he said.

"Was this attack organized to appease Modi? Pinarayi is starting from where Modi left off. The attack was carried out by SFI criminals. Rahul Gandhi had intervened in the buffer zone issue. The CPM is trying to attack Rahul Gandhi by turning a blind eye to Modi. Yechury should speak up about his stance on the incident," Venugopal added.
