divspan class=BodyText readability=18Thiruvananthapuram: Socialist Janata (Democratic), a partner in the ruling Congress-led UDF, has lashed out at the LDF, spearheaded by CPI-M, for calling a state-wide hartal tomorrow over the Western Ghats conservation issue despite the Centre clarifying that final decision has not been taken on the matter.pThe LDF could have waited before rushing ahead with the hartal since the Centre had made it clear that it had not madebr /a final call on the issue and there was still scope to address the state's concern, SJD state president M P Veerendrakumar told a press meet here last evening./ppHe said the choice of the day for the hartal was also suspect as the SJD had planned a volunteer march and rallybr /tomorrow here. Similarly, Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP), a breakaway faction of CPI(M), had also planned to hold abr /state-level meeting the same day in Kozhikode, he said./ppThe SJD has postponed the rally to November 20,he said./ppVeerendrakumar said CPI(M) workers had extensively destroyed SJD posters across the state and attacked itsbr /offices./pp'Though on the opposing camps, we have expected political dignity from the LDF.But the CPI(M), leading the coalition,br /is wreaking political revenge. But we are not going to be cowed down by such arrogant posturing,' Veerendrakumar, whobr /was part of the Left camp for long before breaking away a few years ago, said./ppHe said his party understood the anxiety of a major section of people about the implications of the Kasturiranganbr /committee report but it should not be a ruse for making political capital.
