“The Party therefore, appeals to every Christian in the state to boycott the programme and refrain from participating in the cleaning drive activities on the mentioned day,” he added.

According to him, as per tradition, the cleaning drive should be organized on the 2nd of October every year as part of honouring the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation.
