A viral video clip has sparked outrage on social media after Kerala Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan (Congress) was attributed with a controversial statement praising Prophet Muhammad for allegedly predicting modern scientific facts centuries ahead of time.
In the clip circulating widely, Satheesan is heard saying, “Even scientific matters were predicted in advance. Even in the era when people widely believed that the Earth was flat, the Prophet said that it is a sphere revolving around the Sun in an orbit. Science proved that only later. Science proved it later. All the things that science proved later were already predicted in advance. That’s why I often say that these are events that happened ahead of their time.”
What a downfall !!! Shame !!! All the leaders of @INCIndia including the “intellectual Giant” will be embarrassed by this Statement of @vdsatheesan …the man fighting @chennithala and @kcvenugopalmp and other leaders of @INCKerala to become CM of Kerala…..

Satheesan, a key Congress figure positioning himself as a CM contender amid internal rivalries with leaders like Ramesh Chennithala and K.C. Venugopal, is accused of making the remark to appease the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a crucial UDF ally.
