When suspected Popular Front of India (PFI) activists unleashed violence and forcefully downed the shutters of shops in various parts of Kerala during the hartal called by it against NIA raids, a man here stood up to the agitators, saying they could not close his outlet by force, a video of which has gone viral now. Ashad, a young mobile technician, opened his shop as usual on Friday morning despite the bandh call given by the outfit, to attend to pending work.
When suspected Popular Front of India (PFI) activists unleashed violence and forcefully downed the shutters of shops in various parts of Kerala during the hartal called by it against NIA raids, a man here stood up to the agitators, saying they could not close his outlet by force, a video of which has gone viral now. Ashad, a young mobile technician, opened his shop as usual on Friday morning despite the bandh call given by the outfit, to attend to pending work.
Apart from his shop, only a pharmacy remained open in the otherwise-busy street in Taliparamba here on the day. As he was aware of the unlawful activities of the bandh supporters in other areas, the youth said he was certain that they would definitely come to his shop.
"So, I enabled the video recording on my mobile phone and placed it in the shop…and continued my work," he said on Saturday. As expected, an activist is seen barging into the shop, in the video.
