A video of two Taliban terrorists purportedly speaking to each other in Malayalam has gone viral on social media.
This eight second video, uploaded on to microblogging platform Twitter by a journalist, comprises a scene where one Talibani speaks to his fellow Talibani in what is purported to be Malayalam, and says, “samsarikkette? (Can I talk?)”.
There have numerous reports that members of the minority community from Kerala had moved to the Middle East and Afghanistan to join ISIS and other terrorist organizations. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has investigated these allegations and has even started criminal proceedings against some returnees. The Kerala government too has confirmed the same.
This latest Malayalam conversation between Taliban militants has further given impetus to the notion that Islamic terrorists are very much active in Kerala.
It sounds as if there are at least two Malayali Taliban here — one who says “samsarikkette” around the 8-second mark & another who understands him! https://t.co/SSdrhTLsBG
