BJP and Youth Congress Stage Reciprocal Black-Flag Protests in Kerala Over Amit Shah Visit
BJP and Youth Congress activists engaged in reciprocal black-flag protests in Kerala following Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Kollam. BJP protesters targeted Kerala Chief Minister V D Satheesan's convoy in Kannur, while Youth Congress had earlier protested Shah's convoy. BJP leaders, including B B Gopakumar, alleged a security breach during Shah's visit and demanded investigations, accusing local administration of negligence. Police intervened to prevent disruptions, and security measures for the Chief Minister were subsequently increased.
