Rallies were conducted allover the state on Tuesday voicing against the deteriorated law and order of the state, where they dumped all the blames upon CPI-M.
On the other side, the Supreme Court on Tuesday condemned mob lynching incidents across the country and urged Parliament to enact a law to deal with the crime that threatens rule of law and the country's social fabric. SC has also asked the Centre to file a compliance report on its directions within August 20.
