MPs strongly react to police attack on Congress workers

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said that "I am utterly shocked about it, and I have spoken on strong terms to DGP about it. A peaceful rally was going on, the Leader of Opposition (VD Satheesan) was speaking, the KPCC president (K Sudhakaran) had spoken before that, and there was a quiet, calm audience listening to it. Suddenly, without any warning, a tear gas shell of the highest grade burst just behind the stage and water cannons are fired on the unarmed crowd. What is going on and what was the provocation? This is lawlessness from the forces of the police."
