So far, the Kerala High Court has issued numerous orders opposing hartal in Kerala. However, this time the court refused to oppose the hartal on Monday which was announced by LDF and UDF in support of the nationwide farmers' protest.
The court's observation that those who do not want to cooperate with hartal should have adequate protection if they want to go to work, will have no impact. As usual on Hartal's Day, people will stay home watching TV with snacks and drinks. None of them want to make a scene in public. State employees will receive their salary because one of the sponsors of the hartal is ruling LDF.
For the past year and a half people have been in a hartal mood with the lockdown, police case and fine over Covid-19 and they are all set to face the same thing one more day. Monday's hartal is futile.
