Prakash Raj slams CPI(M) for suppressing farmers agitation in Kerala

Kasaragod, Mar 16: Actor-cum-activist Prakash Raj, who has raised his voice against fascist tendencies by the Sangh Parivar, has now criticised the Communist Party of India (Marxist), accusing it of suppressing an agitation by farmers seeking realignment of the National Highway set to pass through a paddy field at Keezhattur in Kerala.

Workers of the CPI(M), which successfully organised a farmers march to Mumbai recently seeking to redress their woes, allegedly set on fire the venue of the agitation at Keezhattur and such “fascist” tendencies needed to be resisted, Mr. Raj told a ‘Meet-the-press’ programme here on Thursday.

“The CPI(M)’s stance is equally dangerous and condemnable like the one being adopted by the BJP at the Centre if it is against the interests of local farmers,” he said.

“We all know the gravity of issues faced by the farmers. Their fight for survival need not reflect any colour or ideology and all political parties should have an insight on such issues,” he said.

Criticising the BJP, he said the communal agenda pursued by the saffron party was more dangerous than corruption and nepotism dominating the contemporary socio-political arena.

Bengaluru, May 2: JDS leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy accused the Mandya district administration of the surge in COVID-19 cases in the district and not quarantining 7,000 labourers who arrived here from Mumbai.

"As we know that 16,000 labourers from Mandya were working in Mumbai, out of which 7,000 people have arrived in the district. However, none of them was quarantined properly which is a violation of COVID-19 lockdown," Kumaraswamy told reporters here on Friday.

He claimed the district administration has shown "gross negligence" in their duty in following the procedure of COVID-19 as "one COVID-19 patient's dead body which was brought here from Mumbai has led to more cases in the district and those who accompanied the body have also tested positive for the virus."

Kumaraswamy appealed to the state government to strictly maintain lockdown norms and do not allow any relaxations in view of the rise in COVID-19 cases, stating that "any kind of relaxation could lead to a huge disaster."
