Attack on children’s Christmas carol draws protests across the State
Assaulting children for religious expression is a serious abuse of power.
Aswin Raj, a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) worker, was arrested for assaulting children participating in a Christmas carol performance in Palakkad, Kerala. The incident sparked widespread protests and calls for action from various groups, including the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) who organized 2,500 protest carols across the district. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan condemned the attack and warned against religious discrimination, while Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan linked the incident to a broader pattern of attacks on Christians in BJP-ruled states.
