BJP leaders and cadres went on a peaceful protest at the CPI(M) office following a call for national-level agitation at that party’s offices as a part of ‘Jana Raksha Yatra’, BJP City president M. Nagendra said here on Monday.
Narrating the sequence of events on Saturday , he said the protest had been peacefully completed and all of them returned to Saraswati Park where the rally ended earlier.
But two of the party workers were allegedly attacked by CPI(M) workers in a lane behind CPI(M) office and CPI(M) leader Ch. Narsinga Rao was also there, he said at a press conference.
With the two groups present there, police only took into custody 80 BJP men. The two workers lodged a complaint in the Two Town police station, Mr. Nagendra said.
Refuting the impression created that CPI(M) party office was attacked, he said the protest was peaceful. Even party national president Amit Shah led a protest to the CPI(M) office in New Delhi on Sunday.
He said BJP and RSS workers were being brutally murdered in Kerala in view of their ideological differences with the CPI(M) and several leaders from the Chief Minister’s own district were killed since the LDF returned to power. To highlight the killings, the party took up the yatra, he said.
Party leaders Prakash Reddy, Paidah Krishnamohan and Kesavakant were present.
