‘CPI(M) trying to further its political interests’ ‘UDF will react strongly to the suppression’ PATHANAMTHITA: Leader of the Opposition Oommen Chandy said the United Democratic Front was willing to take part in a discussion on the controversial portions in the social studies text book for Class VII, if the government took the initiative. Addressing a press meet here on Friday, Mr. Chandy said that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) was trying to further its political interests in the guise of school textbook revision. ‘Negative policy’The Opposition leader said the ongoing agitation by the United Democratic Front, Congress and its youth and student organisations against this ‘negative’ education policy would continue till the controversial portions in the textbook were removed. He said the UDF would react strongly to the “iron-handed suppression” of popular agitations by the LDF government. The textbook issue would be the main agenda of the UDF in the Assembly session beginning on June 23, he added. Mr. Chandy said neither the KSU nor Youth Congress workers had destroyed public property as part of their peaceful agitation against the government’s education policy. He was responding to Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan terming the agitation ‘naxal-model.’ He visited the Kerala Students Union activists who were admitted to Pathanamthitta General Hospital following Thursday’s lathicharge. Protest meetMr. Chandy inaugurated the public meeting held at Pandalam in the evening, protesting against the alleged CPI(M) attack on the house of the local MLA K.K. Shaju.
