The Kerala Police have booked more than 1,000 Nair Service Society (NSS) members for holding a prayer procession on Wednesday in protest against Speaker A. N. Shamseer’s allegedly “blasphemous” remark on Hindu gods while speaking on science and religion at a school in Kannur last week.
The suspects in the unlawful assembly case registered at the Cantonment police station in Thiruvananthapuram include NSS vice-president M. Sangeeth Kumar, among others.
Mr. Kumar said the police case against the peaceful procession would not deter NSS’ resolve to defend faith. The NSS would contest the charges in court, he said.
