RMP leader’s house attacked – The Hindu

An unknown gang reportedly threw land bombs at the house of Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) leader KS Hariharan on Sunday. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m

Police said the attack was allegedly in retaliation for Mr Hariharan’s “misogynistic” remarks against former health minister and CPI(M) leader KK Shailaja.

The Democratic Youth Federation of India had submitted a petition to the state police chief demanding action against the RMP leader’s “defamatory statement”. CPI(M) Kozhikode district secretary P Mohanan had also criticized the RMP leader’s statement.

RMP workers claimed that the attack was led by CPI(M) activists. They also said police were trying to protect the attackers.
