The protest against the Navakerala Sadas convoy by Youth Congress and Kerala Students Union (KSU) workers at Perumbavoor was a planned attempt and the retaliation by Democratic Youth Federation of India workers was a natural response, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
Addressing a press conference held at Cheruthoni in Idukki on Monday morning as part of the Navakerala Sadas, the Chief Minister said such kind of protests in which shoes are thrown cannot be allowed.
“The protest in Kochi on Sunday was a planned attempt. It is suspected that the protest against the Navakerala Sadas convoy was directed by United Democratic Front leaders. KSU leaders never protested against the stance of the Governor,” Mr. Vijayan said.
