Kochi, Jan 13: The Kerala Police have taken strict action against Congress MLAs Anwar Sadath and Roji M John, along with more than 200 Youth Congress workers, following a violent protest march in the city. The demonstration resulted in damage to several police vehicles. The case has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
The protest was initiated by the Youth Congress workers to express their discontent over the arrest and imprisonment of their state president, Rahul Mamkootathil. Mamkootathil is currently facing charges of leading violent attacks during a recent march in Thiruvananthapuram.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the Youth Congress workers resorted to stone pelting and attempted to topple barricades during their march towards the commissioner’s office. As a consequence, the rearview mirror and other parts of a water cannon truck belonging to the police were damaged.
The police have invoked sections 143 (unlawful assembly), 147 (rioting), and 283 (danger or obstruction in public way or line of navigation) of the Indian Penal Code in the case. They have also applied section 3(1) of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
This incident adds to the growing tensions between the Congress party and the state government. The Congress workers have been actively protesting against the actions taken by the ruling government, demanding the release of their leader and calling for greater transparency in governance. The tensions between the two factions have escalated, leading to frequent clashes and disruption of public order.
As the case moves forward, the spotlight will remain on the arrested state president Rahul Mamkootathil and the two Congress MLAs, Anwar Sadath and Roji M John. The public and party members eagerly await updates regarding their legal proceedings.
The police, on their part, strive to maintain peace and restore order in the city. Their investigation into the case will shed light on the sequence of events and determine the appropriate course of action against those found guilty of instigating violence.
The situation remains tense as the Congress party continues to voice its displeasure over the arrest of their leader and the subsequent actions taken against their members. The state government, on the other hand, stands firm in its pursuit of maintaining law and order, insisting that no one is above the law.
The coming days will reveal the outcomes of these legal proceedings, as well as the impact they will have on the political landscape of Kerala. As the citizens closely follow these developments, the hope for a peaceful resolution remains a priority for all parties involved.
