Social Democratic Party of India

Social Democratic Party of India has decided to hold Long Marches in four areas in the state with a view to spread the message of the party. The decision was taken at a time when the party’s offices also are being widely raided along with the offices of the PFI in connection with the investigation into the attack on the professor of Newman's College for preparing a question paper with derogatory references to Prophet Mohammad. The marches will take place from 27 to 31 of this month. Meetings were held in Kannur, Malappuram and Ernakulam to discuss the matter.
Meanwhile, police came to the SDPI meeting held in an auditorium in Ernakulam. When the SDPI leaders contacted the City Police Commissioner, they were reportedly said they could continue their meeting in the presence of the police. Though they opposed it at first citing it was not a secret meeting, they agreed to it at last. The meeting was held to fix the rout and other details of the Long March from Kunnamkulam to Kottayam. Party state secretariat accused that the police atrocity in the meeting was an insult to democratic Kerala. The meeting chaired by state president Adv KP Muhammed Shareef reportedly warned that the governments using the police to torture the party members would be tried in the people’s court.
