Communal propaganda without leaving Kerala; Who is behind these poison spews, may be thought

Ever since the Sabarimala season started this year, there has been a lot of hate propaganda against Kerala. Some profiles on social media are spewing venom against Kerala by spreading fake pictures of Sabarimala.

Hate propaganda is strong on the social media platform X. Hate propaganda was spread against Kerala with the picture of a crying child who did not see his father in the rush hour. The hate propaganda that shared this picture was that Hindus cannot live in Kerala.

Sabarimala is very crowded this year. Now some people have come out to spew venom against Kerala in connection with this. X has come up with a poster aimed at communal riots.

There are two pictures in the post. Sabarimala Pilgrimage is written in the picture where many people are crowded in the bus. The second is a picture of people dressed in white sitting on seats. It can be seen that the Hajj pilgrimage is also recorded on it.

This post has reached the social media saying that the Kerala government is neglecting Hindus. Many profiles are sharing this picture and spewing venom against Kerala.

Whereas the first picture is from Nilakal. A few days ago there was a huge rush of devotees. KSRTC from Ayyappabhaktar Nilakkal to Pampa. This is a picture of a crowded bus.

But it is clear that the second picture is not from Kerala. On investigation, it was found that news media from Bangladesh had published this picture. Since 2018, this image has been published along with Hajj related news.

This is a picture of Hajj pilgrims taken from inside the plane. Naturally, the plane carries only certain passengers according to the seat capacity. This image is compared to the bus on which Ayyappa devotees travel.

Moreover, Sabarimala has experienced a huge crowd of devotees in previous years as well. In 2015, there was a similar rush, with 32 people stranded in long queues. There were also reports that many devotees were injured in the stampede.

For Hajj each country will be allocated specific Hajj quota. 1,75,025 seats were allotted to Saudi India this year. The bottom line is that only so many pilgrims can perform Hajj from India.
