The Kozhikode District Congress committee (DCC) has filed a petition in the Kerala High Court seeking its intervention into the attacks on its offices allegedly by CPI(M) activists in the past few days.
DCC president K. Praveen Kumar told the media on Wednesday that the party was forced to approach the court as it had lost trust in the police. News videos and newspaper clippings would be attached with the petition.
He said that eight offices across the district had been vandalised. One office was set on fire and workers were attacked. CPI(M) activists in Thikkodi even took out a march raising provocative slogans. Even though Congress functionaries lodged complaints against this with the police, action had not been taken against the culprits.
