Mammootty’s visit to Wayanad township for landslide-affected families sparks political controversy

Mammootty, the actor, was captured on video asking K. Rafeeq, the CPI(M) district secretary in Wayanad, not to follow him around a landslide relief township built by the LDF government. The incident sparked online debate between pro-CPI(M) and Congress social media handles, with both parties weighing in on the situation. The CPI(M) defended Rafeeq, stating he was at the site for a different purpose and highlighting his role in the relief efforts. The Congress condemned the CPI(M)'s cyber attack on Mammootty while PWD Minister Muhammad Riyaz defended Rafeeq. Law Minister P. Rajeeve highlighted Mammootty's visit as a testament to Kerala's resilience and humanism.
