A tense situation prevailed in the State late Monday after an in-flight Congress protest against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan provoked a retaliatory attack by “Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) workers“ on the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) headquarters at Indira Bhavan here.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] and the Congress have portrayed the inflight incident differently. The CPI(M) depicted it as a bid to assault Mr. Vijayan.
The attempt had unfolded after Mr. Vijayan exited the aircraft when it touched down at the Thiruvananthapuram airport from Kannur.
