CPI(M) Protests Against Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary, Seeks Action Over Circular Row

The CPI(M) staged a protest demanding action against Tamil Nadu's Chief Secretary and other officials over controversial circulars, including an Education Department directive that called for joint efforts to prevent students from participating in protests. The circular was withdrawn within a day following backlash, but the CPI(M) said the government's response was not satisfactory and accused the administration of attempting to curb democratic rights.
