Tushar Gandhi was in Neyyattinkara to unveil a statue of the late Gopinathan Nair, a respected Gandhian. Gandhi accused the Sangh Parivar of spreading a \”cancer\” that had crippled the country’s soul. Angered by these remarks, RSS and BJP workers shouted slogans and blocked his car, causing tension in the area. \”I have done no wrong. I am not scared of these people,\” he said on Thursday. Congress leader V.D. Satheesan condemned the incident, calling it \”highly deplorable\” that someone with Gandhi’s lineage was treated in such a manner. The Kerala government must take action because our state has always taken a firm stand against fascism, he said. \”What he said is the truth, and we will keep saying the same,\” said the leader of the opposition, asserting that the Congress would continue to invite Tushar Rahul Gandhi to the state. The protest was part of the centenary celebrations of the historic meeting between Mahatma Gandhi and Sree Narayana Guru at Sivagiri Mutt in Varkala, which took place on March 12, 1925.
