THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPI(M) on Thursday pledged full protection and necessary assistance to the protesting Lower Primary School Teacher (LPST) rank holders following a police crackdown that dismantled their protest tent outside the Secretariat and led to the arrest of their leader, S. Valarmathi. Simultaneously, the CJP declared its decision to join the ongoing agitation until the demands of the job seekers are met.
Strongly condemning the forceful eviction, CPI(M) District Secretary and MLA V. Joy alleged that police officers used high-handed tactics on Wednesday night, forcibly removing the LPST rank holders and damaging their personal belongings from the protest site.
Meanwhile, Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) MLA P.K. Firoz struck a different note, stating that the rank holders should exercise patience and await their appointment orders rather than continuing with public agitations.
