Accusing the CM for giving a free hand to police to indulge in state terror, Chennithala said Kerala has become the first state to invoke the amended UAPA law with draconian provisions.
Pinarayi Vijayan repeated his stance that the state government will review the slapping of UAPA and will not allow misuse of the anti-terror law. He urged Opposition not to glorify Maoists and paint them as saints.
