National Commission for Women will seek a report on political violence at Pinarayi in the district from Kerala government, its Chairperson Lalitha Kumaramangalam today said.
Talking to reporters after visiting houses of the victims, Kumaramangalam said it was condemnable that violence occurred in the home town of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
She visited the houses of both BJP and CPI(M) activists in the area and also met women and received complaints from them.
Clashes between CPI(M) and BJP workers had occurred in the area after the May 16 assembly election results in which CPI(M)-led LDF came to power.
Women and children were allegedly attacked in the clashes and the Commission had come to the state to look into the complaints of violence.
