Kerala: Several Injured After Clash Between DYFI and Youth Congress Activists in Kannur
Several were injured in a clash between Youth Congress workers and Students' Federation of India-Democratic Youth Federation of India (SFI-DYFI) activists in Kerala's Kannur on Thursday night, January 29, during a protest over the alleged vandalism of a political poster.
The Youth Congress had planned a satyagraha in Payyanur following allegations by former area secretary and district committee member P. Unnikrishnan of irregularities in the martyrs' fund. Tension escalated when DYFI and SFI workers allegedly tore down posters related to the protest.
