KOZHIKODE: Activists of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) attached to the Beypore Assembly Committee took out a march to the Office of the Commissioner of Police here on Tuesday demanding that the State Government order a CBI probe into the blast at the Beypore fishing harbour.

BJP State president P.S. Sreedharan Pillai inaugurated the protest march.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Pillai alleged a conspiracy by the IUML and the CPI(M) behind the blast.

He observed that the Beypore MLA (V.K.C. Mammadkoya of CPI-M) opened his mouth for the first time after the blast only to demand compensation for boat owners.

Sangh Parivar, the BJP chief said, was ready to face terrorism as a whole. "Both the LDF and the UDF have joined hands to defeat the BJP in Marad area (part of Beypore grama panchayat) in the local body polls. They cross-voted in 200 places to defeat the BJP," he alleged.

BJP National Council member C.K. Padmanabhan, BJP State general secretary K.P. Sreesan and district president Chettoor Balakrishnan also spoke.
