Wednesday, June 29, 2011: Deputy leader of Opposition Kodiyeri Balakrishnan today came down heavily on the UDF government in connection with the police action on the students. Kodiyeri was speaking to the reporters here on Wednesday after visiting the students who were injured in the police lathicharge in the capital city. He added that the government was trying to protect the vested interest of the Managements by suppressing the protest march led by the students of the SFI in connection with the self-financing issue.
Earlier report: -
The march taken out by the activists of the SFI to the Secretariat as a protest against the self financing issue in the State, turned violent today.
The whole area resembled a battlefield with the marchers fleeing from the police and throwing stones at the police. The police resorted to lathicharge to disperse the agitated mob. Many activists were injured in the incident and were rushed to the nearby hospitals.
Police accused the marchers of having triggered the violence while SFI leaders alleged that the violence was unleashed on protesters as part of a pre-planned strategy to suppress the agitation.
The police entered the University college campus and fired grenades at the protesters. Many students have been reportedly injured in the incident.
