One held over ‘provocative sloganeering’ in PFI rally in Alappuzha
The HinduThe police on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, took a person into custody after a purported video in which a boy could be heard raising ‘provocative’ slogans during a march organised by the Popular Front of India in Alappuzha last week went viral. Earlier in the morning, workers of the Bajrang Dal took out a motorcycle ‘Shaurya ’ rally in Alappuzha town against terrorism. The two rallies and sloganeering come five months after the murders of leaders of the Social Democratic Party of India and Bharatiya Janata Party — with communal overtones — rocked the district. Less than 12 hours after the murder of the SDPI leader, a gang hacked to death BJP’s OBC Morcha State secretary Ranjith Sreenivas in his house at Vellakinar in Alappuzha municipality the next morning.
