The Kerala unit of the BJP observed a protest on Sunday by blocking highways across the state following the arrest and the subsequent remand of senior party leader K Surendran.
Surendran was taken into custody on Saturday night after he got into a scuffle with the police while attempting to go to the Sabarimala temple despite police cordon in the area.
After spending the night at Chittar police station, Surendran was produced before a magistrate near here on Sunday morning which remanded him to a 14-day judicial custody.
