Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, drawing parallels to historical injustices, likened the current situation in the country to Hitler’s persecution of Jews, cautioning against the demonisation of minorities, particularly Muslims.
Inaugurating a mass event organised by the Left Democratic Front (LDF) to protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, in Kannur on Sunday, Mr. Vijayan said that the RSS wants to treat Muslims the way Nazis treated Jews.
“Just as Hitler and his Nazi followers persecuted the Jews and treated as their prime enemies, the RSS and the Sangh Parivar were trying to handle the minorities, especially the Muslims. The CAA was introduced as part of this agenda,” the Chief Minister said.
