The developments in West Bengal involving the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the police were an example of efforts to sabotage the federal system in the country, said Jose K. Mani, MP, here on Monday.
He was speaking at the conclusion of ‘Kerala Yathra’ in the district on Monday. The ‘Yathra’ is being organised by the Kerala Congress (M) focussing on protection of farmers, a secular India and a new Kerala. He said that the CBI could not take action without the consent of the State government and these developments were a violation of the State’s rights.
The ‘Yathra’ entered the district on Monday morning and meetings were held at Paravur and Aluva before it ended for the day at the Kerala High Court Junction in the city. The ‘Yathra’ will continue on Tuesday and tour Kunnathunadu, Moovattupuzha and Kothamangalam before it ends in the State capital on February 15.
