Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] district secretary M.V. Jayarajan has denied that CPI(M) workers had assaulted SilverLine protesters at Nadal on Monday.
CPI(M) workers had not beaten up anyone. Those who deliberately tried to cause trouble and prevent the survey for the SilverLine project had to back down, he told the media on Tuesday.
Mr. Jayarajan, who claimed that the survey was peaceful, alleged that Congress workers had assaulted officials at Nadal.
