Thrissur, May 30: Taking action for making a derogatory comment against judges of the Kerala High Court, Kerala police has arrested Popular Front of India leader Yahya Thangal from his home in Perumpilavu in Thrissur. Apart from him, police have also arrested 6 members of Islamic radicals who were trying to rescue Yahya Thangal.
It should be noted that, while addressing a public rally in Thrissur, he had said that 'Judges are wearing saffron innerware.' The video of the rally has been going viral on social media. In a video, he can be heard saying, "If they are wearing saffron underwear, of course, they will feel the heat. It will burn you. We are fully aware it will disturb you."
He was commenting on the HC's reaction to the incident where a minor boy delivered a hate speech against Hindus and Christians. He was also one of the organisers of the event where the provocative slogans were allegedly raised.
In one of the videos which went viral on the Internet, a boy sitting on the shoulder of a person could be seen issuing threats to Hindus and Christians living in Kerala. He said, "Be ready with rice flakes to fill your mouth if you won’t live quietly (For Hindus). Be ready to burn incense sticks in your home if you won’t live quietly (For Christians). Because we are coming, we are your death. We won’t go to Pakistan or Bangladesh, you have to live here as we say, or else we know how to make you live quietly, we will kill you even if we are attacked."
On Saturday, police had the minor boy's father. So far, more than 20 people have been arrested. According to police sources, the boy would be sent for counselling at a government centre soon.
