The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] will organise a three-day-long protest at 164 centres across Idukki, alleging a concerted bid to foist cases on its leaders and weaken the party structure in the district, party district secretary C.V. Varghese has said.
Talking to the media at Kattappana on Friday, Mr. Varghese said the protest would be staged under CPI(M) local committee areas in the district on September 5, 6, and 7.
“There is a planned attempt to block the functioning of CPI(M) offices in the district by registering cases against CPI(M) office-bearers. The High Court-appointed amicus curiae were working to protect the interests of environmentalist groups,” said Mr. Varghese.
