The BJP has demanded that charges of sedition be slapped on Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for the speech he made against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) during a CPI(M) rally in Malappuram on Monday.
BJP leader P.K. Krishnadas said here on Tuesday that that Mr. Vijayan had tried to create communal divide in society and attempted to instil insecurity among the Muslim community.
Mr. Vijayan had said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) was focussing on Muslims with the objective of turning them into second class citizens. He also had said that the Sangh Parivar viewed Muslims as a community that should be driven away from the country.
