18th December, 2008: Can the year end without a Kerala bandh?

Why should an entire district suffer if a small time office of a party is attacked by a rival party? The answer is to take revenge the same way. But who will listen in Kerala, the bandh capital of the world. The CPM is observing a hartal in Shoranur to protest against the attack on its local committee office. Stones were pelted at the victory demonstration taken out by Janakiya Vikasana Samiti. The attack towards CPM local committee office is considered to be retaliation to that.
