Tushar Gandhi urges Kerala to quash cases filed against student protesters
In a letter addressed to Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala, he says it’s disgraceful students are being prosecuted in Kerala, where a Congress-led government is in power.
Social activist Tushar Gandhi, a great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, has called upon the Kerala government to take immediate action by canceling all chargesheets and cases filed against student protesters who participated in protests supporting the nationwide student movement. His appeal, addressed to Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala, came after learning about the filing of chargesheets and registration of cases against the students.
Gandhi expressed surprise at the actions of the progressive state of Kerala and its UDF government, headed by a Congress chief minister and home minister, in prosecuting students involved in the movement. He reminded the government that the Congress party was founded on the principles of Satyagraha and expected better from a government led by Congress.
Gandhi urged the government to quash all FIRs, charge sheets, and cases against the students without delay, emphasizing that the act should be irrespective of their political affiliations.
