Thiruvananthapuram: The NSS (Nair Service Society) is planning to take the case against the ‘Namajapa Yatra’ (Mantra chanting procession) filed by the Pinarayi Government to the High Court. In addition to intensifying public protests, the NSS intends to pursue strong legal action. Several other Hindu organizations have rallied behind the NSS, offering their full support to the cause.
On 2nd August, the NSS organized a Namajapa Yatra, starting from Thiruvananthapuram Palayam Ganapathi Temple and concluding at Pazhavangadi Ganapati Temple, marking it as ‘Faith Protection Day.’ Subsequently, the Kerala Police took suo motu action and filed a case against NSS Vice-President Sangeet Kumar and around 1000 other identifiable NSS members. The charges included disrupting traffic, illegal gathering, and creating an atmosphere of conflict and violence. It’s important to note that the protest was conducted in a completely peaceful manner, with no destruction of public property or the use of provocative slogans. Despite this, the government’s decision to register a case against the peaceful procession is perceived as an abuse of power and an act of retaliation.
Despite its earlier announcement to face the case, the NSS has now decided to approach the High Court to question the process of the case. This decision is believed to have come after receiving detailed legal advice on the matter. The main charge against the NSS revolves around the alleged violation of the law by engaging in unlawful assembly and conducting processions or protests in public places that might incite violence. Additional charges include creating traffic obstructions, using a microphone without permission, and disregarding police instructions. As a result, the clash between the NSS and the government has intensified. However, amidst the escalating tension, more Hindu organizations have expressed their unwavering support for the NSS.
