CPI(M) State secretary K. Balakrishnan on Saturday condemned the BJP for supporting its State secretary S.G. Suryah, who was arrested for denigrating CPI(M) MP Su. Venkatesan on the social media.
Recalling Mr. Suryah’s posting that Mr. Venkatesan was maintaining false silence over the death of a conservancy worker at Pennadam in Madurai, Mr. Balakrishnan said Mr. Suryah lacked even the basic knowledge about places in Tamil Nadu.
He said the CPI(M) had been campaigning against the practice of the entry of humans in septic tanks and had raised its voice in Parliament and Assemblies across the country.
