Delegates discuss police action
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI-M] has defended the police action against Allan Shuhaib and Thwaha Fasal, who were earlier booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for alleged links with Maoists.
Briefing the media about the ongoing district conference of the party, Kozhikode District Secretary P. Mohanan said that both of them had been under the influence of certain ideas. The party was taking steps to rectify it, he said.
On the closed-door deliberations, Mr. Mohanan said the delegates at the party conference had discussed issues to improve the functioning of the State government. However, a few isolated incidents of the failure by the police had also occurred, he said in replying to questions.
