Communist Party of India (CPI) State assistant secretary P.P. Suneer has urged the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government to refrain from adopting a confrontationist attitude towards ration dealers.
Inaugurating a demonstration taken out by the Ration Dealers’ Coordination State Committee in front of the Secretariat on Monday, Mr. Suneer, who is also the chairman of the Kerala State Housing Board, was critical of the government’s stance of adopting legal steps to allegedly deny ration dealers of their eligible benefits.
“Denying commissions for handling food kits to large sections of dealers and sanctioning them only to those who had moved the court does not befit a Left progressive government. The government should adopt a compassionate stance and resolve such issues without resorting to legal steps,” he said.
