Cong hits out at Vijayan govt for nod to prosecute KPCC Chief

The CPI(M)-led LDF government has allowed state police chief Loknath Behera to launch prosecution against state Congress chief Mullapally Ramachandran for defamation, a move the opposition party termed as "undemocratic" and "dark chapter."
Senior Congress leader and CWC member A K Antony said on Saturday that launching prosecution proceedings in the name of criticism was "totally objectionable."
Opposition leader in the state assembly Ramesh Chennithala said the LDF government was following in the footsteps of the BJP government's "fascist rule and intolerance."
