Malappuram സിപിഎം CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said that the strike that took place last day in the name of Silver Line protest should be beaten. There was a struggle to get a real beating, to throw stones inside the Collectorate and to throw stones inside the Secretariat. The police were exercising restraint. There is no shortage of stone in Kerala as it was taken away by the strikers. If it is no longer in Kerala, it will be brought from other states and stoned. He was speaking to the media in Malappuram on the subject of Silverline.
Land will be acquired only after compensation is paid to those who lose their land. Only things that are centrally approved are happening here. The Center has been allowed to conduct surveys and prepare DPRs. Permission to conduct an EIA was questioned in the High Court but was not granted. The current strike is against the High Court verdict. Kodiyeri said that no liberation struggle will take place here anymore.
Strikers are misinformed: EP Jayarajan
Kannur: CPM central committee member EP Jayarajan said that if VD Satheesan has no other work to do, the survey stone should be removed. Jayarajan was responding to the media in Kannur. Congressmen are not thinkers for the country. There are no people behind the strike. They just bring in a few ‘ready-made people’ and try to get the police to act and create violence. There are no people in the anti-Silverline movement. There are only a handful of informants going south. He also said that the leadership of the Congress was in the hands of scoundrels.
K Surendran says Sabarimala experience will be repeated
Thiruvananthapuram: BJP state president K Surendran has said that the anti-Silver Line agitation is a threat to the Chief Minister and that the government will have to face the experience of Sabarimala in this agitation as well.
The government is making a planned move to break up the struggle by creating sectarianism. Perhaps it is the struggle of the people rather than the politics of caste and religion. The position that people can be divided on the basis of caste and religion is useless. The government is worried about Muslims and Christians joining hands with the BJP. It is a false propaganda to say that Silver Line will get central approval.
