Kannur, Oct 10: The Kerala police have recovered a huge cache of weapons from the office of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Kannur district following a raid.

The police have seized steel bombs, swords, iron rods and other sharp weapons from the BJP office in Panoor area of Kannur. The raids were conducted after a tip-off from the local residents living in the area around the office.

The development comes in the wake of a recent attack on a CPM rally, allegedly by RSS-BJP activists. At least five CPM workers and four police personnel were injured when a procession of the Left party workers was attacked with country bombs in Kannur district in Kerala.

Only a few days ago, Amit Shah had slammed the Left government in Kerala over the political killings of BJP and RSS workers in the state. Senior CPM leader then hit back at the BJP, saying it was actually a case of "the pot calling the kettle black" and that the BJP had always resorted to clashes and violence to expand their presence in the country.   

The BJP recently launched the Jan Raksha Yatra, which was also attended by Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath to protest against the killings of BJP and RSS cadres in Kerala.

Kannur, a politically volatile district in Kerala, has a history of clashes involving CPI(M) and BJP-RSS workers. Since May 2016, a total of eight political murders have taken place in Kannur - 3 CPM activists and 5 BJP activists.

According to statistics available with state crime bureau, 45 CPM activists, 44 BJP activists, 4 Muslim League activists and 15 Congress activist have been killed since 1991 in the district.
