While speaking to Mathrubhumi, an officer of Hosdurg Police Station said the arrested persons include members of the youth wing and its parent organisation. The case was registered on the complaint filed by Vaishak PK, president of BJP’s youth wing Yuvamorcha’s Kanhangad Mandalam.
It should be noted that a video went viral in which IUML’s youth wing members were seen raising anti-India slogans at a rally against Manipur violence. BJP’s IT Cell chief Amit Malviya shared the video of the incident and criticised the Kerala government for its inaction. He reminded me how a 7-year-old boy had raised anti-Hindu slogans last year during a PFI rally in Kerala. “Kerala is now the new pit of rabid radicalisation,” he said.
