Congress, BJP, extremist outfits behind SilverLine agitation in Kerala, says CPI(M) Polit Bureau member A. Vijayaraghavan

CPI(M) Polit Bureau member A. Vijayaraghavan has blamed a combine of “the Congress, the United Democratic Front, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Muslim extremist groups” for the anti-SilverLine protests across Kerala.

“The unholy nexus has been formed to impede the development of the State and disrupt peace through violent means,” he said at a meet-the-press programme organised by the Thiruvananthapuram Press Club on Thursday.

Refuting reports of police excesses on the agitators, Mr. Vijayaraghavan said the law enforcers have been working to restore law and order in the face of orchestrated protests. The government does not endorse the use of forceful measures on the public, he added.
