Her photographs and videos showing her covering the Sabarimala protests with a steely resolve despite being brought to tears, has gone viral on social media, reports India Today. Shajila was photographed with tears in her eyes and still holding up her camera to shoot the protests in Thiruvananthapuram as the state boiled over the women of menstruating age entering the temple that has traditionally banned their entry. Several journalists staged a march in the state capital on Thursday to protest against the assault they were subjected to since Wednesday. The state was under siege as strike supporters clashed with police and the ruling CPI(M) activists at several places. A 55-year-old man, who was seriously injured when CPI (M) workers hurled stones at protesters from atop their party office at Pandalam in Pathanamthitta district, died late Wednesday night.
