Congress demands disbanding of SFI over drug allegations

Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has called for the disbanding of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI), blaming it for drug distribution in Kerala colleges. This follows a police raid that seized two kilograms of ganja from a college hostel. The CPI(M) rejected these accusations, claiming they are part of an agenda against the SFI. Tensions have risen among student organizations, with leaders from various groups exchanging blame over the drug incident. Public Works Minister P. A. Mohammed Riyas defended the SFI, stating that allegations against it are politically motivated. He urged unity in addressing the drug issue rather than targeting student organizations.
