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.

Mangaluru, Feb 2: A local court on Saturday remanded Aditya Rao,the suspect in the Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) bomb case, to two weeks judicial custody.

Rao was produced before the Sixth Judicial First Class Magistrate Court after the 10-day police custody expired.

Rao has been in police custody since January 22 after he surrendered before the police in Bengaluru on January 21 and was later brought here.

He had allegedly planted an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) at the airport on January 20 triggering panic and later made a hoax call to the airport terminal that a bomb had been planted in an IndiGo flight.

During the last ten days, police took the accused to several places in the city and Udupi where he had frequented in the recent past.

He was also taken to the room where he stayed while he was working at a hotel in the city.
