By calling the strike, the PFI wanted to show protest against the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) raiding the residences of its leaders.
Investigative authorities began the raids on Wednesday and continued on Thursday. The groups had raided the apartments and offices of various PFI leaders. The investigating agencies were accompanied by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel.
The search and seizure operations have caused tension in various parts of central Kerala as PFI activists staged several protests.
