All-India Youth Federation (AIYF) State joint-secretary, Manoj Charalel, has strongly condemned the march staged by the Youth Congress (I) here on Tuesday demanding implementation of the proposed Aranmula airport project.
In a statement issued here on Tuesday, the AIYF leader alleged that the march was a clear testimony to the support extended to the ‘land mafia’ by the YC(I) and its State leadership.
It was a mockery on the part of the State leadership of the youth organisation of the ruling Congress(I) to stage a march on behalf of a private company that have violated all the prevailing laws of the land in the name of an airport project at Aranmula.
The AISF leader alleged that it was a shame on the Youth Congress(I) and its State president, P.C. Vishnunath, MLA, who is also a member of the State Legislature Committee on Environment to argue in public for a private company that have illegally converted natural streams, wetland and paddy fields at Aranmula.
AIYF march
Mr Manoj said AIYF would stage a march in Pathanamthitta, Adoor, Ranni and Thiruvalla, protesting against the Government move to raise the retirement age of Government employees and against the proposed airport project at Aranmula, on Wednesday.
The AIYF leader alleged that the MPs in the district and the local MLA have been behaving like the spokespersons of the private company and the YC(I) too was stooped to stage a march to protect the interests of the company.
