The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has lodged a police complaint against BJP Kerala vice president K.S. Radhakrishnan for “denigrating Kalamassery as a den of terror” and “for spreading communal venom” in the wake of the blasts at a convention centre at Kalamassery on October 29, 2023.
In a complaint submitted to the SHO of the Kalamassery police station on October 30, IUML Kalamassery town committee president P.M.A. Latheef and other office-bearers sought action against Mr. Radhakrishnan and others who pronounced the “venomous” statements which “portrayed the people of Kalamassery as having terror links, referred to the locale as one with having a history of terror incidents, and that the attack was pre-planned.” Mr. Radhakrishnan had further said the police failed to conduct a proper investigation into such incidents there.
All these allegations made before the media amount to instigating hatred among people, according to the complaint.
