A meeting of the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) held in Ernakulam on Friday decided to strengthen the protests against the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.

Under the aegis of block Congress committees, a Statewide protest will be held on Tuesday (September 24) evening demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, action against the persons responsible for the disruption of the Thrissur Pooram, and a stop to the ‘criminalisation’ of the Home department.

This will be followed by a massive protest at the Thekkinkadu Maidan, Thrissur, on September 28.

KPCC president K. Sudhakaran chaired Friday’s meeting of KPCC office bearers and District Congress Committee presidents at the Ernakulam district committee office of the Congress party.

The September 24 protest will be led by 256 block Congress committees. Senior Congress leaders from all 14 districts will participate in the Statewide protest.

The Congress also expects to complete the reorganisation of block/mandalam committees by September 30. The reorganisation of nearly 70% of the block Congress committees has been completed, it was reported at Friday’s meeting. The exercise has been completed in 210 block committees, while 72 committees more are left.

The deadline for completing the exercise in the booth Congress committees has been extended to October 15.
