Kannur: UP CM Yogi Adityanath joined the ‘jan raksha yatra’ in here today.

The protest was organized against the murder of party workers here. The rally that began on Tuesday will pass through the state of Kerala and conclude at Thiruvananthapuram on October 17.

The BJP has said that the yatra will target “Jihadi-Red terror.” The party alleges that 14 of its members have been killed since then in Kannur alone and 120 in the state of Kerala since 2001. “More than 120 BJP workers have been martyred. What was thier fault?” said Amit Shah, adding, “CPI (M) leader and Kerala Chief Minister Vijayan is directly responsible for all political murders in Kerala,” Amit Shah said on Tuesday. 

CM Pinarayi Vijayan used a Facebook post to hit back at the BJP saying, “The Sangh Parivar shouldn’t think that they can make inroads into Kerala by false propaganda. The state government is committed to ensure peace. Instead of fueling false stories and processions, people expect central ministers and ruling party leadership to control their workers and ensure peace.”
