He also threatened to intensify protests if the government went ahead with such actions. State vice-president B.L. Ajesh and district president R. Sajith spoke.
Later, Yuva Morcha leaders led by Mr. Krishnan submitted a complaint to Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, who is also the Chancellor of State Universities, in which they accused the government of attempting to regularise the services of 3,000 temporary employees in universities by bypassing the Kerala Public Service Commission and violating University Grants Commission (UGC) norms.

Similar protests organised at the Cochin University of Science and Technology in Kochi and Mahatma Gandhi University in Kottayam turned violent. The agitators clashed with the police during efforts made to thwart their forceful entry on to the campuses.
