Kasaragod Club lands in trouble over its ‘all Hindus welcome’ brochure, police register case

The Manjeswaram police have registered a case against Veera Kesari Club, a right wing organisation, which held rural games at Bayar in Paivalike gram panchayat. The event was marred by controversy over its online brochure, which read “Welcome to all Hindus”, which went viral on social media.

On Sunday, Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) activists took out a march and disrupted the games at Beripadavu. The activists were led by DYFI Manjeswaram block president Vinay Kumar. Following the intervention of the police, the club permitted people from all communities to participate in the event, Mr. Kumar said.

“We filed a police complaint a day after citing that such activities would create communal rift. The club violated the by-law by circulating the brochure,” he added.
