Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has accused the second Pinarayi Vijayan government of misusing the people’s mandate to render the police force ineffective in the State.
He blamed the government for the prevalence of criminal activities that had apparently created a sense of insecurity among the public.
The Congress leader was inaugurating a State-wide protest organised by the United Democratic Front (UDF) in front of the Secretariat on Friday to protest against the alleged breakdown of law and order and to force Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to relinquish the Home portfolio.
