CPI(M) and RSS workers clash in Kerala's Payyannur
In the clashes that broke out on Tuesday evening, eight Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) workers were injured and the offices of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the RSS were attacked, the report said.
Large posse of police personnel were deployed in the affected areas by night as the Sangh Parivar called for a dawn-to-dusk hartal in the Payyannur Assembly constituency on Wednesday.
According to the CPI(M), the trouble started when Sangh Parivar workers hurled country-made bombs at party workers in Kakkampara, Ramanthali. The CPI(M) workers were on their way to the function to mark the first death anniversary of C.V. Dhanaraj, who had been hacked to death allegedly by BJP-RSS workers. Eight CPI(M) workers were injured in the attack.
The incident was followed by retaliatory attacks on the BJP and RSS offices at Payyannur. Arsonists set ablaze the RSS office and vandalised the BJP office nearby.
