Kerala HC refuses to stop march to Raj Bhavan
India TV NewsThe Kerala High Court on Tuesday refused to stop the protest march organized by Left parties to the Raj Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram but directed the Chief Secretary to consider the representation filed by BJP state chief K Surendran against the alleged participation of government employees in the agitation. A bench comprising Chief Justice S Manikumar and Justice Shaji P Chaly asked the counsel representing the BJP chief how one could identify government employees from a protest march. ".It is reliably learned that efforts are going on to compel the government servants to participate in the protest march.Further they cannot take part in a politically motivated protest against the executive head of the state who is the highest constitutional functionary in the state," Surendran said in his plea filed before the high court. The Left parties on Tuesday led a massive protest march to Raj Bhavan over his alleged interference in the higher education sector of Kerala.
