Kerala - Thiruvananthapuram   

Youth protest

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The All India Youth League, youth wing of the All India Forward Bloc, staged a demonstration here on Thursday urging the Chief Justice of India to reject the honorary doctorate being conferred on him by the University of Kerala. The organisation said the university was in the dock for the alleged irregularities in some of the appointments made by it recently. The participants were blind-folded in a symbolic gesture. They alleged that conferring of the degree on the Chief Justice was part of a move to put pressure on the Lok Ayukta which was looking into the appointment case.
