Ahead of the coming Assembly elections in Kerala, the Left Democratic Front government today decided to withdraw cases registered in connection with Sabarimala agitation and anti-CAA protests that rocked the state over the last few years.
While Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) welcomed the decision, the BJP-NDA demanded an apology from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for registering cases against Lord Ayyappa devotees and also said treating Sabarimala agitation and anti-CAA protest cases equally was not acceptable.
The significant decision was taken in a cabinet meeting chaired by Mr Vijayan in Thiruvananthapuram.
