A 50-member group of Students Federation of India (SFI) activists vandalised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, MP’s, regional office at Kalpetta in the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency on Friday, setting off a political furore and precipitating a tense Congress and Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] stand-off in the State.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury have tweeted condemning the attacks. The CPI(M) has ordered an internal inquiry into the incident and promised decisive action against the wrongdoers.
