The Left Democratic Front (LDF) government is trying to implement State-sponsored terrorism using the police, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said.
Addressing mediapersons here on Tuesday, he said Youth Congress State chief Rahul Mamkootathil was not a terrorist or absconder to be arrested and dragged out his bedroom early in the morning. He took part in the protest march to the DGP office and visited his colleagues in jail. He gave reception to the Youth Congress workers who were released from jail. But the police chose to arrest him from his house when Mr. Mamkootathil, who sustained a head injury, was resting in his house, he said.
“If Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan thinks that he can scare the UDF and Youth Congress workers with such acts of cowardice, he is mistaken,” Mr. Satheesan said.
