Pinarayi Vijayan Protests Police Action on SFI Students in Kerala to Congress Leader
Kerala Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan has protested to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge against police action on Students Federation of India (SFI) activists at the University of Kerala. Vijayan alleged the Congress-led United Democratic Front government in Kerala is supporting the Sangh Parivar's push to sing the full rendition of Vande Mataram, breaking a long-standing consensus to sing only the first two stanzas. He criticized the police for a violent lathi charge on peaceful protesters, including female students, and accused the state government of a 'fascist' approach towards student protests.
