THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: For the second day in a row, Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan took potshots at the police for lapses in probing the death of Sidharth.
Speaking to reporters at Cantonment House, Satheesan demanded that the faculty members of College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Pookode, mostly CPM sympathisers, who turned a blind eye to the gruesome incident should be removed from office.
He also blamed the government for pushing people into poverty and suicide by denying them social security pension for the past seven months.
Satheesan alleged parents are afraid to send their children to college fearing violence by SFI.
Highlighting the crisis in the higher education sector, Satheesan expressed shock at how SFI workers having criminal backgrounds are calling shots on campuses.
“It was mob lynching that occurred on Pookode campus at the hands of SFI activists. A dangerous trend is prevailing on campuses. The Opposition will not sit idle watching the terror unleashed by SFI. Why is the CM silent on Sidharth’s death? Those responsible for killing Sidharth are the LDF government, CPM leadership and also the CM,” said Satheesan.
