Sporadic violence took place across the State as part of the dawn-to-dusk hartal observed by the Sabarimal Karma Samithi on Thursday in protest against the entry of two women, under 50, into Ayyappa temple on Wednesday.

A couple of steel bombs were hurled at the house of a CPI(M) leader (who is also a member of Devaswam Board) at Perambra in this district late on Thursday night, breaking the glass of the window. The police reached the spot and defused the other bomb which did not exploded.

The vehicle of the Koyilandi Municipal Chairperson was blocked on the highway late on Thursday night. However police intervened and the car was released.

In retaliation, the BJP office in Puthiyatheru in Kannur was set ablaze early this morning allegedly by the Left Supporters. One Suresh, who was sleeping in the office suffered minor burns and has been admitted to a nearby hospital.

The situation in Kasaragod and Palakkad, where clashes between the warring left supporters and Hindu activists were rampant on Thursday is reported to be returning to normality. 

Aimed at controlling the agitators, Prohibitory orders has been imposed in Palakkad town and Manjeswaram taluk in Kasaragod, from Thursday night till Friday evening.

Sanghis are frustrated by loss to bjp in 5 states.   they are trying their best to create tension in the public.  Kerala POlice should be very strinct on these terrorists.   They have factory of making bombs + ammunitions.  All the offices of RSS should be checked for ammunitions and sealed.   RSS is the real troble maker and should be declared by terrorist organisation .   US has already declared RSS as terrorist organisation and same thing shold be done in India also.    RSS never supported Indian independence and not a single RSS cadre sacrificed his life during freedom struggle.   Instead they collaborated with British and worked as agent / informers.

I saw one video in fb. Kerala hartal video shot from kochi. RSS vs shop owners. RSS people coming in bike for forcing them to close their shops, but shop owners started beating all of them and these cheddi people ran with and without bikes. RSS got nice treatment in that hartal, thats why they are vandalising shops, vehicles and offices, pelting stones

New Delhi, Feb 3: BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's swipe at Mahatma Gandhi has irked the top party leadership and he may be forced to apologise, party sources said on Monday.

A senior BJP leader said the Karnataka leader's comments were "condemnable" and the party leadership is upset with him.

"The party has conveyed its displeasure to him and asked him to take remedial measure. Any insult to Mahatma Gandhi is unacceptable," he said.

Hegde, a former Union minister, reportedly claimed at an event in Bangaluru that the entire freedom movement was staged with the consent and support of the British, and the independence movement led by Gandhi was a "drama".

He also wondered why the Father of the Nation was called 'Mahatma' (a great soul).

The party leader said the Lok Sabha MP is a "disciplined" member of the party and will do what he has been asked to.

Hegde, known for hardline Hindutva leanings, has a history of making controversial remarks.

This man and some others like him have reached the peak of their madness.

 

They will not change their attitude, as they know that nobody can do any harm to them.

 

Therefore they will listen only to dire action what they deserve per the penal code. If required put him behind bars.

Dont harm them more, see their families.

New Delhi, Feb 3: Congress leader BK Hariprasad on Monday condemned BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's remark on Mahatma Gandhi and termed him as "son" of Nathuram Godse, the assassin of the freedom fighter.

"Only sons of Nathuram Godse can make such comments on Mahatma Gandhi," Hariprasad said.

Hedge had attacked Mahatma Gandhi by calling the freedom struggle led by him a "drama" and also questioned as to how "such people" come to be called 'Mahatma' in India.

"None of these so-called leaders were beaten up by the cops even once. Their independence movement was one big drama. It was staged by these leaders with the approval of the British. It was not a genuine fight. It was an adjustment freedom struggle," he had said.

The Trinamool Congress also lent its support to Congress as its leader Saugata Roy said people like Anant Hegde cause shame to the nation. "We are a supporter of Gandhi and they (BJP) are Nathuram Godse supporters. People of this country should see how BJP MPs are as they insult father of the nation," he added.

BJP leaders too found it difficult to defend Hegde on the controversial remarks.

Senior leader Jagdambika pal was cautious in his defence and said, "The whole world knows about Gandhi and it may be his personal opinion."

Whereas senior BJP leaders avoid commenting on Hegde, Union Minister Ashwani Choubey said that Hegde should not have made the comment and added that Gandhi is a well-respected figure in the nation.

Another BJP MP from Haryana Sanjay Bhatia also tried to shy away from making a direct comment and instead said," Congress did not implement what Gandhi preached. It is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who implemented Gandhi's teachings in letter and spirit."
