Attack on principal's house condemned

By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, OCT. 7. The Latin Catholic Service Society has registered strong protest and sadness over the attack on the residence of the principal of the University College, Mr. S. Verghese, following the recent incidence of violence in the college.

A press release here today said the SFI had been abusing Mr. Verghese, a member of a minority community, by branding him a Congressman because he is a former president of the Government College Teachers' Organisation. Now attempts are being made to hold him responsible for the student-police clashes, and to attack him.

Such kind of "bomb politics" cannot be encouraged under any circumstances. The insulting behaviour of some "political goondas" towards the principal and the subsequent attack on his house, can never be justified. The Society has urged the authorities not to allow such kind of incidents anymore and to bring to book those responsible for the same. It has also called on the CPI(M) to give up the policy of encouragement to such heinous acts.

If such incidents are repeated, the entire Latin Catholic community will unite in agitation, the release added.
