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.

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

Bengaluru, Aug 8: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Saturday demanded that the state government drop its plan to provide doorstep delivery of liquor.

"After faltering in mopping up revenue, the state government is mulling over allowing doorstep delivery of liquor by enabling online sales and starting new MSIL liquor shops in rural areas. I demand that the state government drop its plans," he tweeted.

"I came to know that the excise commissioner is keen to hold talks with a private firm to enable online sale of liquor. The government should back out from such a foolish decision. Otherwise, agitation is inevitable," Kumaraswamy said.

He said opening new liquor shops or online delivery will ruin the health of society.

"Post-COVID outbreak and subsequent lockdown, people are facing financial distress, struggling to lead day-to-day life. 

The government must withdraw such an imprudent decision to deliver liquor at doorsteps. Opening new liquor shops or the decision of online delivery in times of distress like this will spoil society's health. 

It is not fair for the government to fill its coffers by robbing people's money," he said in a series of tweets.
