The former president of the state of BJP, K. Southern, on Friday (April 11) claimed that extremist forces operated freely in Kerala under the appearance of protests against the WAQF amendment law.
He said that religious extremists, led by James-E-Islami and supported by the ruling and opposition fronts, had recently besieged the Calicut airport, showing photos of the founder of the Muslim brother and an extremist leader of Hamas. “Muslim brother Hood is an organization that has been prohibited only in Egypt. What is the connection between Hamas leader and the WAQF amendment law?” Hello Ash. Mr. Southern said that while the center was taking a strong position against religious extremists, Kerala had adopted a favorable approach.
He questioned what action the police had against those who besieged the airport, an act, he said, that represented a threat to national security.
Hello, he claimed that the Muslim League of the Union of India supported the campaign in Malappuram against vaccination, while no progressive part questioned its position.
“Just after the organization was prohibited, the sleeping cells of the Popular Front of India are active in the state,” said Southern.
