New Delhi, Oct. 3 (PTI): The Delhi BJP would take out a march in the national capital tomorrow against political violence in the Left-ruled Kerala and stage a demonstration in front of the CPI(M) office here, the party said today.

Manoj Tiwari, the president of the Delhi BJP, would lead the march, said a statement issued by the party.

BJP national president Amit Shah, while flagging off a ‘Janraksha Yatra’ at Kannur in Kerala today, also announced ‘padyatra’ (foot march) at all the state capitals against the CPI(M)’s alleged targeting of the workers of the saffron party and questioned Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan over the political violence in the southern state.

The protests, sit-ins and demonstrations would be held across the national capital till October 16, the statement said.

BJP national vice-president Shyam Jaju and Union minister Jitendra Singh would also take part in the protest in front of the CPI(M) office near ITO tomorrow, it added.

The saffron party would also put up a photo exhibition on the violence in Kerala.

Kerala had been witnessing a cycle of violence involving the workers of the CPI(M) and BJP-RSS.

Several political killings on both sides have been reported from the southern state since the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) government came to power in May, 2016, with both sides blaming each other for the violence.
