Party’s ex-MLA supplies to Reliance as IUML protests

The IUML activists, however, have been holding anti-Reliance demonstrations at Mukkom for the past one month. Last week, party General Secretary P K Kunhalikutty even addressed the agitators and warned against the possible dangers of allowing the retail majors in the market. Another protest meeting was held in Kottakkal last week by the Edarikkodu panchayat committee of its youth league to spread awareness against a retail chain’s bid to open store there.

When cornered on the Mukkom agitation, Sahir said: “The agitation at Mukkom is of local nature. It is against the company’s bid to open an outlet without the permission of local body there.”
