A Ganapathi puja (homam) was taking place at night at the Nedumannur LP school in Kayakkody district in Kozhikode, Kerala. The puja took place at 8 pm on 13 February 2024. Villagers reached the premises after witnessing several cars outside the school. That was when they realised it was a Ganapathi homam that was taking place in the school. Around this time, members of the SFI and DYFI also reached the premises. It turned out to be a protest in a big way.
When the cadre reached, the homam/puja was underway. The cadre alleged that under the supervision of the BJP, the school manager and his son were indulging in these pujas. Subsequently, Thottilpalam police reached the premises and took the school manager into custody.
The villagers also gathered in large numbers and stopped the puja. DYFI cadre said that since these pujas are not allowed on school premises, they will intensify their protest against the manager and the ones supervising the conduct of the pujas.
CPIM's Ultimate Hindu Hate Agenda!!

It is noteworthy that the Ganapathi Pooja was conducted to mark the inauguration and Bhumi puja of the new school building. As per Hindu customs, commencing any sacred endeavour starts with the observance of Ganesha Pooja. Ganapati pooja serves as the fundamental ritual conducted to remove hindrances, mitigate difficulties, and promote prosperity.
Another important point to note is that it is crucial to acknowledge that the management of the school aligns with individuals supportive of the Congress, and the BJP had no involvement in coordinating this ceremony.
