BJP-sponsored hartal passes of peacefully

Palakkad, Kerala, Jan 13 (UNI) The BJP-sponsored dawn-to-dusk hartal in this district of Kerala passed off peacefully today.

The activists took out a march to the South Circle Inspector's Office here.

The hartal was called by the BJP in protest against yesterday's police lathicharge on Yuva Morcha activits, who were demanding the resignation of Education Minister M A Baby for taking a 'pro-management' stand on the self-financing professional college issue.
