Vehicle Rally by Hartal Opponents in Kochi

Say No to Hartal campaigners on the road in Kochi on Monday

On Monday, about 25 citizens opposed to the hartal called by the Left parties and the Bharatiya Janata Party took out a Vahana Jatha (Vehicle Rally) in Kochi under the auspices of the Say No to Hartal campaign

The following is a message from Facebook friend Raju P. Nair who took the initiative in organizing the campaign:

Thank you for the support extended.

As informed, Say NO to Hartal held a Vahana Jatha to protest against the hartals. I am happy that almost 25 cars and some eminent personalities took part in the Jatha held today. Hon’ble Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer inaugurated the Jatha by handing over the flag to the Jatha Captain.

Rotary International, Chamber of Commerce and Travel Operators Association of Kerala extended their support.

Ms. Deepthi Mary Varghese, Fr. Roby Kannancheril, Director, Chavara Cultural Center and Mr. Mansour of the Chamber of Commerce led the Jatha.


Say No to Hartal campaigners offering transportation to stranded passengers at Ernakulam Jn railway station


The vehicles which took part in the Jatha proceeded to the Ernakulam Jn railway station and offered free transfers to stranded passengers.

The media extended great support to this movement.

Request your support to this campaign in the future. Please kick off a debate in the media about the bill presented by Hon'ble Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer against the bandhs and harthals.

Thanks for the post.
I fully supports the "NO TO HARTHAL" in India. Harthal i s an anti people strike decided by the minority leaders to harass others. We have to join together to protest against harthal with the support of Media in future at every place to help the sufferings.

A survey related with the opinion of the public on "harthal" is a need. It may be an alarm to the political Parties who are against the Public.

how can we save our country from hartals....
how can we throw out the cheap dirty politicians from the main stream...
and how can we save some of the pure humane, principle oriented, leaders...
lets have a thought on this and its very urgent...
