Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan Monday slammed the Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) asking who they are to ask people they hate to leave the country.
“What right do the RSS have to demand those who express an opinion which they do not like, to leave the country,” Pinarayi said in a Facebook post, referring to the statement of BJP general secretary A N Radhakrishnan asking Kamal to leave the country.
Vijayan said all secular-minded people in the country should unite to face the "challenges posed by RSS".
"People who didn't contribute anything in the Independence struggle are now not even sparing the image of Gandhi," the CPI-M leader said in a Facebook post.
He said replacing Gandhi's image with that of Modi is an act of "sheer pettiness".
"A Prime Minister should not have stooped to such a level," Vijayan said, adding, "the image of Gandhi spinning wheel is one that remains in the heart of the people".
