CPI(M) takes to the streets in Malappuram against Anvar

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] cadre took too the streets across the district on Friday protesting against P.V. Anvar, MLA, in the wake of his showdown with the party and the government. Demonstrations were taken out by 18 area committees of the CPI(M) condemning Mr. Anvar. The protestors carried his larger-than-life effigies.

Flex boards and banners were erected at many places, particularly in Nilambur constituency from where Mr. Anvar was elected to the Assembly as an independent member of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in 2016 and 2021. A flex board by the CPI(M) Othayi branch placed in front of Mr. Anvar’s house at Edavanna said, “Threaten not, bargain not; this party is different”, in an apparent warning to him.

The banners in some places read, “Don’t mess with the red flag” and “Anvar the betrayer, your place will be in the waste basket”.
