Thiruvananthapuram: A group of BSP workers
allegedly stoned the office of a Malayalam daily here on Friday
protesting a cartoon carried by it on the currency note
garland controversy involving Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and
party supremo Mayawati.
According to a spokesman of the newspaper, "Tejas", the
slogan-shouting group, holding the BSP flag, smashed the
office sign board and damaged a vehicle parked before it.
The protesters alleged that their leader was depicted in
a "unsavoury manner" in the cartoon "unbecoming of the
journalistic ethics and values".
Police said a case had been registered in connection
with the incident.
