CPM workers attack Congress office after Kerala CM shown black flag in flight in Kerala

Kochi, June 14: In a shocking development, the state Congress office in Kerala capital Thiruvanthpuram was attacked on Monday by workers of the ruling communist party of India.

 

As per the reports, former Union Minister and senior Congress leader AK Antony were present at the party office when the attack took place. The CPI(M) workers ransacked the Congress office and destroyed chairs, and boards, and also damaged vehicles parked on the premises. They also pelted stones at the office.

 

 

 

This incident comes after Youth Congress workers waved black flags at Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan inside an indigo aircraft when he was returning to the capital from Kannur. After the incident, the Valiyathura police department registered the case under the IPC section 307 following the complaint of the CM bodyguard. They have also been charged with an attempt to murder.

 

 

 

Talking about the incident, AK Antony said this was the first time that the Congress party's head office was attacked by CPM men in Kerala. He also sought the response of the CM and CPM state secretary on the attack.

 

Meanwhile, KPCC President K Sudhakaran strongly condemned the CPM attacks and said the Congress party will continue its protest against the Chief Minister demanding his resignation in connection with the diplomatic baggage gold smuggling case.

 

 

It should be noted that massive protests have been underway in the southern state ever since the key accused in the gold smuggling case, Swapna Suresh, leveled serious allegations against the CM last week. Suresh has released an audio clip containing her conversation with a man who allegedly threatened her to withdraw the statement given to the court alleging chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his family’s involvement in the case.
