The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Kerala staged a protest outside the residence of film director Ranjith on Sunday, demanding immediate legal action against him. This protest stemmed from allegations of inappropriate behavior raised against Ranjith by a Bengali actor, which led to his resignation from the post of chairperson of the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy. The BJP workers, driven by their belief in the need for swift justice, accused the police of inaction and expressed their dissatisfaction with the government's perceived supportive stance towards Ranjith. The protestors, in their fervent attempt to bring attention to the matter and exert pressure on the authorities, clashed with the police while trying to enter the director's compound in Chalappuram.
The BJP district president, V.K. Sajeevan, who led the protest, asserted that the state government was shielding Ranjith from accountability in a serious case involving a woman actor. He criticized the government's inaction in the face of the complainant's public statements and the emotional trauma she endured. The protestors' anger was fueled by the perceived disregard for the victim's suffering and the belief that the government was failing to uphold justice. The clash between the protestors and the police highlighted the tension surrounding the case and underscored the BJP's determination to hold Ranjith accountable for the alleged misconduct.
The protest served as a platform for the BJP to express its dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the situation. Their actions aimed to amplify the voice of the complainant and highlight the importance of taking swift legal action against those accused of inappropriate behavior. The incident underscored the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations against Ranjith and for the authorities to ensure that the victim receives justice and support. The BJP's protest shed light on the complexities of the case and the ongoing debate surrounding the role of accountability in the face of allegations of misconduct.
