DYFI protest against flight cancellation by Air India

Activists of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) on Monday took out marches to Air India booking offices at Kochi, Kozhikode, Kannur and Thiruvananthapuram protesting against the cancellation of various services of the Air India Express to the gulf from Kerala.

In Kozhikode, about 150 DYFI activists took out a protest march from Muthalakkulam maidan in the city to Air India office. The march was inaugurated by T.V. Rajesh, State Secretary of DYFI. He said that Overseas Indian Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi’s silence on the issue brings to life the petty political games of the Congress party in the State, who worked on a hidden agenda to degrade the achievements of the State Government, which were acknowledged even by the Central Government. Had the Minister acted on time, the NRKs would not have suffered.

In Thiruvananthapuram CPI M district secretary Kadakampally Surendran inaugurated the march to the office of Air India Express at Vellayambalam.
