Congress held anti-government rallies across the State on Tuesday to protest the administration’s alleged subversion of the police to muzzle the press and ensnare Opposition leaders in false cases.
Congress called for Statewide protests after the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government ordered back-to-back criminal investigations against Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran and Leader of Opposition V.D. Satheesan.
The Crime Branch is investigating Mr. Sudhakaran regarding the suspected financial malfeasance of alleged fake antiquities dealer Monson Mavunkal.
