After aircraft protest, Congress and CPI(M) leaders trade charge

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has slammed the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) leadership for justifying the belligerent action of two Youth Congress workers onboard the flight he took from Kannur to Thiruvananthapuram on Monday. He said the KPCC’s defence of the aggression suggested a conspiracy involving the party’s top leadership.

Mr. Vijayan said the Congress, in conjunction with the BJP, had leaned on falsehoods aired by discredited proxies to unleash anarchy in Kerala. The Opposition had attempted to provoke the LDF supporters. He urged the public to peacefully resist the attempts of the Congress and the BJP to undermine the government.

KPCC president K. Sudhakaran said the workers had protested democratically. It had unnerved a Chief Minister facing allegations of gold and foreign currency smuggling.
