Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 3 (PTI): Kerala Chief Minister
Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday cautioned against the infiltration
of members of extremist outfits in the protests against the
CAA in the state and said the Left government would not allow
any attempt to create communal disharmony in society.
Coming down heavily on the Islamic outfit Social
Democratic Party of India (SDPI), he said such "extremist"
groups were trying to divide people and create law and order
issues in some places under the garb of the protests.
Police and other government agencies had taken stern
action against such groups for indulging in violence and
illegal activities in many places, he said while replying
during the question hour.
Rubbishing the allegations raised by the Opposition
Congress-led UDF, the Chief Minister also made it clear that
his government had not registered a case against anyone who
took part in the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests
peacefully and in accordance with the law.
He said the southern state had witnessed unprecedented
protests against the citizenship law and most of such
protests, including those organised by mahal committees, had
been organised peacefully.
"But there is a group named SDPI in our state who are
thinking in an extremist way.
It has been brought to the government's notice that
SDPI's members were trying to infiltrate in the protests in
many places and divert the issues," he said.
They were not only indulging in violence, but also trying
to divide people and create communal disharmony in society,
the Left veteran added.
The mentioning of the name of SDPI by the Chief Minister
triggered a brief war of words between the ruling and
opposition benches.
"Why is the opposition getting agitated when I mention
the name of SDPI? Are they saying that I should not talk about
SDPI and extremism?" Vijayan asked.
When UDF members alleged that police had registered cases
against their leaders and party workers for taking part in
anti-CAA protests, the Chief Minister said the law enforcers
had to intervene as the protesters crossed the limits and
destroyed public property. PTI LGK UD
