Kasargod, Oct 13, 2016: The BJP has given a call for a state wide hartal in Kerala on October 13 from 6 am to 6 pm in protest against the killing of party worker Ramith at Pinarayi, the home town of State Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on October 12, Wednesday. The murder took place within 48 hours of the murder of CPI(M) activist Mohanan and is believed to be a revenge killing.
The BJP has squarely blamed Ramith for the murder and alleged that the BJP workers were falling victim to the hate politics of the CPI(M).
