An image of Bharat Mata, revered by many, was defaced in Paruthikuzhi Amachimuttil, Kerala, in what appears to be a premeditated act. CCTV footage from the area shows three individuals allegedly “disguised” as Sunni madrasa students observing the site before one of them defaced the image with a knife.
The image was installed by local RSS workers and was reportedly targeted in an intentional attack. The Poonthura Police have registered a case and initiated an investigation to identify the culprits and uncover their motives.
The incident has sparked concerns about the true identity and intent of the attackers. Responding to the act, K.P. Sasikala Teacher, the chief patron of Hindu Aikya Vedi, strongly condemned the vandalism. She pointed to the dangers of instilling divisive mindsets in children and stressed the need to address such issues with urgency for the nation’s harmony and welfare.
