Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has warned that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) comes to power for a third time, the country will be in an “insurmountable danger” and there will be no point in regretting it later .
Attacking the BJP-ruled Centre as well as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Mr. Vijayan at a function in Kannur on Sunday accused them of trying to destroy the diversity in the country and create a nation based on religion.
The Chief Minister said communal clashes were taking place in the country in the name of cows, the kind of food one should consume, and by depicting one group of citizens as enemies of the country. He said that everyone, irrespective of religion, caste or creed, was entitled to equal protection of law, but that was being changed in the country. All this had created fear and apprehension among minority communities, he said.
