Kerala: CPI sticks to its stand on removing ADGP

New Indian Express  

KOTTAYAM : Reiterating its stance, the CPI has demanded that ADGP M R Ajith Kumar, who is in-charge of Law and Order in the state, be removed from office. Party state secretary Binoy Viswam told reporters in Kottayam on Saturday that an officer having ties with the RSS is unsuitable to serve as the ADGP responsible for Law and Order in an LDF government. Hence, there is no change in the CPI’s position that the ADGP should be replaced,” said Binoy. He also condemned the inflammatory slogans chanted against Nilambur MLA P V Anvar, who is at loggerheads with CM Pinarayi Vijayan, at a march taken out by DYFI activists in Malappuram.
