The letter, original in Malayalam is translated to state, “Traditionally, your ancestors were prohibited from attending this general meeting. Therefore, your participation in the meeting is canceled, and you should not attend this meeting in the future.”
The DPJC has demanded that the “Kerala government and police should take strong action against these hate-mongers who hold casteist/racist beliefs. Otherwise, we will take action against them in our own manner.” The tweet has tagged @CMOKerala @SPC_Kerala @TheKeralaPolice @VinayRatanSingh @BhimArmyChief
