The BJP took out a protest march to the district collectorate on Wednesday seeking departmental action against the deputy director for violation of service rules.

"The LDF government is promoting halal food products to favour caterers belonging to a particular community. This will damage the secular fabric of the state," said BJP spokesperson K V S Haridas who inaugurated the protest. BJP district president K S Shaiju said the party will approach the court seeking dismissal of the officer from service.
