The Congress on Friday criticised a Kerala police move to banish from his native district a Youth Congress worker who had raised slogans against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on board an aircraft.
Police recommended to the district executive magistrate of Kannur that Farzeen Majeed be banished for a year under the Kerala Anti-social Activities (Prevention) Act (KAAPA), usually invoked against hardened criminals.
After they protested against Vijayan on an Indigo flight from Kannur to Thiruvananthapuram on June 13, Majeed and another Youth Congress leader were arrested and charged with attempt to murder. They got bail from the Kerala High Court in the case.
