Activists of the Youth Congress (YC) and Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) took out separate protest marches to the collectorate here on Thursday demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan whose name was recently dragged into the diplomatic channel gold and dollar smuggling cases by prime accused Swapna Suresh.
YC workers who first reached the spot created a stormy scene forcing the police to act tough on them with water cannons. Their attempt to barge into the collectorate compound, removing the barricade, was foiled on the spot. Two policemen on duty sustained minor injuries in the incident.
