CPI (M) siege: Case registered against Pinarayi Vijayan


THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The police have registered cases against about 10,000 CPI (M) leaders including party’s state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan after party workers laid siege to government Secretariat on Wednesday.

The workers squatted near all the four gates and the roads leading to the Secretariat, making it difficult for the office staff to enter the compound. CPI (M) leaders claimed that more than 15 lakh people took part in the agitation in 14 districts. The party workers also held demonstrations in various other centres.

Addressing the protestors before the Secretariat, Pinarayi Vijayan had said the skyrocketing prices and corruption were the fallout of the liberalisation and globalisation policies vigorously pursued by the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre.
