MADURAI: After the recent attack on CPM office in Tirunelveli, its state secretary K Balakrishnan on Monday urged the State government and the Department of Police to take stern measures against caste-centric forces.
The CPM office at Reddiarpatti was on Friday evening was vandalised over inter-caste marriage as the parents and relatives of a girl, who got married to a boy, who hails from Arunthathiyar community, objected to it.
Citing these, Balakrishnan urged the State government should ensure safety and job security for inter-caste marriage couples.
If the government did not come forward, then the CPM would offer them safety.
Meanwhile, he also appealed to all political parties to pay attention to inter-caste marriages for justice to prevail in society.
