A protest march of the SFI, the students wing of ruling CPI(M), against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's office in Wayanad turned violent as a group of activists allegedly entered the Lok Sabha member's office and vandalised it, prompting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to strongly condemn the incident and warn of stern action against the culprits. Strongly condemning "the act of violence" by SFI, the Congress party staged a statewide protest, which turned violent in some regions. The incident occurred when SFI activists held a march to Gandhi's Office alleging his inaction in the issue of buffer zones around forests.
