Pathanamthitta: Mullakkara Ratnakaran, the former Agriculture Minister, has requested the new Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president, V.M. Sudheeran and vice-president, V.D. Satheesan, to impress on the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) government the grave flaws it had committed by blindly supporting a “grossly anti-people and anti-environment” project such as the Aranmula airport.
Mr. Ratnakaran was addressing an indefinite satyagraha staged by the joint action council chaired by poet Sugathakumari, in protest against the project, on Tuesday. A large number of the action council members who belong to different political parties and socio-environmental groups, took part in the satyagraha that has entered the second day.
He said both Mr. Sudheeran and Mr. Satheesan, who have openly supported the ongoing mass movement against the airport project, were bound to convince the government of the ill effects of the project and to abandon it without any further delay.
