Preventive detention of people whenever Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan steps out is a “fascist measure” as even when the Prime Minister is travelling by road no one is taken into custody in advance, the Congress-led UDF opposition alleged on Tuesday while criticising the elaborate security arrangements for Vijayan.
Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the state assembly V D Satheesan said by taking up such “fascist measures”, the southern state has been turned into a “banana republic” by the ruling Left front as no other state sees people put into preventive detention when the chief minister leaves his residence.
Recently when Vijayan attended two events in the state capital, 10 people were put in preventive detention, he alleged and claimed that the police was being controlled by the CPI(M) and its district committees.
