Cong. boycotts ‘Ente Keralam’ in Palakkad

The Congress boycotted the ‘Ente Keralam’ programme organised as part of the first anniversary celebrations of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.

V.K. Sreekandan, MP, said here on Thursday that his party was boycotting the programme as it was being held in violation of the prohibitory orders in place in the district.

Prohibitory orders were clamped in the district in the wake of the two political murders that took place at Elappully and Melamuri on April 15 and 16 respectively. When Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) worker A. Mohammed Subair was killed by a group of Rashtriyaswayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) men at Elappully, RSS worker A. Sreenivasan was murdered by a group of SDPI men at Melamuri. The district administration had imposed prohibitory orders until 6 p.m. on Thursday.
