Kannur: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has called a statewide bandh in Kerala on Tuesday. The move came after a district leader of the party was hacked to death allegedly by CPM cadres in the Kannur district.
Manoj, the Kannur BJP leader, was an accused in the CPM leader P Jayarajan attack case. Police suspect the attack on Manoj may be an act of revenge.
"There seems to be a pattern in Kerala where RSS cadres are being targeted by the CPM cardes. I hope the authorities will take required action in this case," party leader Nalin Kohli said.
The attack came on a day when BJP president Amit Shah was present in the state capital Thiruvananthapuram. Shah condemned the killing.
"Nearly 250 BJP workers have been murdered in Kerala. We will fight this legally and we will bring it before the people of Kerala," he said.
The police have registered a case and investigations are underway.
