Pramod was attacked with bricks on the head who was rushed in a critical situation to the hospital at Kodungallur, later to another hospital at Irinjalakkuda and on becoming unconscious he was rushed to the third hospital in Thrissur city, where he breathed his last.
Another BJP worker and E.K. Biju, was in an auto rickshaw carrying school children (all below the age of 10 years) was waylaid and attacked by CPM workers in Kannur district and lynched publically to death, where blood splashed on bag and uniform of innocent kids.
Even more, BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday attacked the Left Front over a party worker’s murder in Kerala, calling the alliance that has stormed to power “undemocratic” and accusing it of “violating” the mandate that the people have given it.
Union telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad warned the CPM that the BJP would fight them “on the street and in Parliament”.
Meanwhile, Left parties on Sunady likened BJP’s demonstration outside CPI(M) headquarters to the saffron party “instigating lynching mob” after its workers allegedly vandalised parts of CPM office here and retorted the “challenge will be met democratically”.
The Left parties observed the genesis of BJP’s “aggression” against the Front is due to its “failure” to do well vis-a-vis the communist parties in the assembly polls held in five states recently and “therefore, launching the attacks by refusing to accept people’s verdict”.
“What Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said yesterday was nothing but issuing threat to other political parties. What BJP has done on Sunday at CPI(M) office is nothing but instigating lynching mob on the street,” CPI national secretary D Raja said after visiting the CPIM’s office post protest.
Describing BJP’s demonstration as “a part of its fascist functioning”, Raja said the Left Front cannot be “intimidated” by launching “such attack”.
