Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has sought to counter the Congress’s allegation that Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] and Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) workers had unleashed wanton violence against Opposition activists who staged a “peaceful” black flag demonstration at the motorcade ferrying the Cabinet from a Navakerala Sadas venue in Kannur on November 20 (Monday).
Mr. Vijayan’s narrative about the incident contrasted sharply with the Congress’s.
Speaking to journalists in Kannur on November 21, Mr. Vijayan said that the DYFI workers had prevented the Congress worker who tried to throw himself in front of the moving bus transporting the Cabinet.
