UDF protests outside Kerala Secretariat against drug menace, ‘rising violence’

The Hindu  

The Congress-led UDF on Wednesday alleged that the Left government in Kerala has “failed to prevent violence, killings, and the widespread use of drugs” in the State. Kicking off the hunger strike, Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly V D Satheesan claimed that the people of Kerala were scared and anxious as a series of violent incidents, previously unheard of, were occurring across the State, which was also turning into a hub for narcotics. The Opposition leader said that the hunger strike also marked the launch of the UDF’s campaign to rescue Kerala from the menace of the drug mafia. Mr. Hassan alleged that the State government and its police had “failed to prevent the proliferation of drugs” as well as “the rise in violent incidents and killings in Kerala.”
