Kerala orders a police probe into comments made by T.G. Mohandas, an RSS ideologue, after he sparked controversy over a remark about protesters at Jantar Mantar. According to reports, Mohandas—described as a former head of the Kerala unit of the BJP’s intellectual cell—made the comments in a video posted on his YouTube channel. The statement triggered a public row in the state. The political controversy centres on Mohandas’s alleged suggestion that he “would have shot” the protesters, with critics citing it as a call for violence. The state government’s ruling Congress has taken action against what it characterises as hateful remarks. In response, Kerala police register and investigate the matter, following the state’s directive to examine the comments and their context. The outlets agree on the basic timeline: Mohandas posts the video online, the remark leads to a backlash, and Kerala subsequently directs police to investigate the incident.
