Maha minister's Pakistan remark on Kerala highly inflammatory; shows Sangh Parivar's basic approach towards state: CM Vijayan

In a statement issued here, Vijayan said Nitesh Rane's remarks are highly provocative and condemnable and alleged that the Maharashtra minister's words show the basic approach of the Sangh Parivar forces towards Kerala.

"The Sangh Parivar believes it can isolate those geographical areas, where it does not have influence by alienating it and indulging in hate speech. Such remarks are an offshoot of such beliefs," Pinarayi Vijayan said.

Chief Minister Vijayan also said the Maharashtra minister who indulged in hate speech has no right to continue in his post. He added that it was surprising that the party that rules the nation is silent about the minister who has violated his oath of office and insulted the country's Constitution.
