KANNUR: The Students Federation of India (SFI) will take out a protest march to the Secretariat on July 3 to protest against the fee hike in government medical colleges.
SFI State secretary A.N. Shamseer said at a press conference here on Tuesday that medical and paramedical students in the State would participate in the protest march and dharna. He also said that the SFI would launch a campaign on July 2 against the propaganda against the controversial Class VII social science textbook.
The SFI would distribute copies of the textbook to the public as part of the campaign to expose the propaganda being unleashed by communal interests.
Mr. Shamseer said that those who were demanding the withdrawal of the textbook were religious fanatics. He also said that Leader of the Opposition Oommen Chandy, Indian Union Muslim League leader P.K. Kunhalikutty, Archbishop Joseph Powathil and Nair Service Society general secretary P.K. Narayana Panikkar were working as a ‘gang of four’ to make Kerala a ‘lunatic asylum.’
