The Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday staged a protest in front of the residence of D.K. Suresh, MP, who recently said that the southern States could seek a separate country over the injustice meted out in allocation of funds.
While some of the BJP workers, who barged into the residence of Mr. Suresh were taken into custody by the police, others were dispersed by the police who resorted to caning. The BJP workers, who tried to move towards Mr. Suresh’s residence from Palace Grounds, took the police by surprise after some of them managed to get inside the compound.
The protest that was organised by the BJP Yuva Morcha saw protesters raising slogans against Mr. Suresh for speaking about a separate country for southern States.
