CPI(M) Leader Condemns Online Attacks on Mammootty Over Wayanad Visit Controversy
Actor Mammootty faced online criticism linked to a 2026 visit to the Wayanad Model Township for landslide survivors, where he reportedly asked CPI(M) leader K. Rafeeq not to accompany him closely. The backlash intensified after youth and student CPI(M) activists visited Mammootty, prompting CPI(M) leader P. Jayarajan to condemn the attacks and clarify that the earlier issue was resolved amicably. Jayarajan emphasized Mammootty's public stature beyond political lines and defended the youth organizations' visit as recognition of their democratic efforts.
