Referring to the Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC) organising protests against the 'padayatra' of TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu in Telangana region, the CPI leader said it is undemocratic to try to stop someone from taking up political activity.
"If you have any differences with any political party, you can criticise them. But it is undemocratic to try to stop someone. Pressure can be mounted on ruling party. But it is strange to train guns on opposition parties," he said.
