THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After the high court on Tuesday disposed of a petition against the CPM's 212-day strike at Martyrs' Square citing that the strike was not illegal, and that the party paid the deposit of Rs 10,000 and rent of Rs 5,000 per day as per norms, the Kerala Road Fund Board (KRFB), which maintains Martyrs' Square, has come out saying that the party has not paid the board a single paisa.
The petition filed by Indian Lawyers Congress leader Shihabudeen Kariyath had sought the removal of temporary sheds that the party had erected for the strike.
The KRFB, which has developed and is maintaining the Martyrs' Square, has fixed a deposit of Rs 10,000 and Rs 5,000 per day to rent out the place. KRFB officials said that the CPM has not paid any money for using the space for strike that ended on the 212th day on Tuesday.
The CPM owes Rs 10,70,000 to KRFB. However, in a recent meeting between KRFB officials and CPM leaders, the party requested the board to waive the rent amount. "Our next executive committee will discuss this issue," said a KRFB official.
