CPIM Parassala area secretary said that they had directed the cadres to conduct Thiruvathira in compliance with Covid-19 protocols. However, this event has drawn criticism from quarters of society.
Over 550 people participated in the event despite stringent Covid-19 curbs.
The event happened at a time when the state government had imposed strict curbs and restricted only 50 people to attend the marriage and funeral ceremonies in Kerala.
On Tuesday, Kerala reported 9,066 new Covid-19 cases.
