Guwahati: A group of protesters destroyed Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s office in Kerala’s Wayanad on Friday.
According to reports, a protest march of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI), the student’s wing of ruling CPI (M) got violent after some protesters allegedly broke into the congress leader’s office and vandalised it.
According to police, around 100 SFI activists entered the office during the protest march.
Police further said that eight of them are under custody.
The student group protested stating that Rahul Gandhi had declined to become involved in the debate over establishing buffer zones surrounding forests in Kerala’s hilly areas.
Leader of Opposition in Kerala, V D Satheesan responded angrily to the occurrence, claiming that it demonstrated “goondaism” and lawlessness. Images uploaded by Satheesan showed a huge group of young males shouting and arguing with one another in a small area with glass walls. A fight bursts out of nowhere, and a man in a red shirt can be seen punching another.
Satheesan tweeted, “Ghastly attack by SFI goons at Rahul Gandhi’s MP Office at Wayanad. It is lawlessness and goondaism. CPM has turned into an organised mafia. Strongly Condemning the attack.”
