The police courting trouble because of their arrogance, is no news in Kerala. Latest is the lathi charge against CPI protestors who marched to Kochi Range IG Office.
Several leaders and workers including Muvattupuzha MLA Eldo Abraham got injured in the police lathi charge. The MLA’s hand broke as the police thrashed him using lathi. CPI district secretary was also injured in the police attack.
An MLA of the ruling front getting injured in police action is new to the state. As Eldo reacted, there is no one in the state to control the police. Of late, lathi-charge and water cannon have become daily ordeal in the state to handle protesters.
Perhaps, under Pinaryi regime, police has to prove that no one is above the law. Not a politician, not a student, not a teacher, not a priest, not an advocate. All are all subjected to police action except CPM leaders
