An alleged call for violence against Hindu and Christian communities at a Popular Front of India (PFI) “Save the Republic” rally in Alappuzha on May 21 is perhaps the latest instance of incendiary rhetoric reaching an ominously shrill pitch in Kerala.
A viral video of a PFI worker shouldering a minor voicing slogans deemed by some quarters as a “death threat” to other communities provoked widespread public concern.
The police arrested two persons on the charge of promoting enmity between communities under Section 153 (A) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
