KSU to boycott Thomas' functions

By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM April 29. A section of KSU activists would boycott all public programmes of the Tourism Minister, K. V. Thomas, as a mark of protest against his alleged move to desert the veteran Congress leader, K. Karunakaran.

The KSU district secretary, V. Manu, said though Mr. Thomas had openly stated that he had become a Parliament member, the DCC president and a Minister because of his loyalty towards Mr. K. Karunakaran, his move to part ways with the `I' group at the time of the Rajya Sabha elections shows that he was only interested in remaining in power, he said.

Mr. Manu urged the Chief Minister to remove Mr. Thomas from the ministry and include a new representative from the `I' group.

The KSU would organise a "rain dance'' in front of the Secretariat next week.
