Case against 27 RSS workers for laying floral carpet near temple in violation of court order

A case has been filed against 27 RSS activists for laying a floral carpet at a temple on Onam in Kollam district of the state, reported PTI, citing the Police. The carpet was made outside the Parthasarathy temple with the RSS flag and “Operation Sindoor" inscribed on it.

The Temple committee reported it as a violation of the Kerala High Court order. Speaking about the same, Temple committee member Mohanan told PTI that there had been frequent clashes over flag installations near the temple during festivals previously.

“To avoid such confrontations, we approached the High Court, which in 2023 banned any decorative items, including flags, near the temple compound," he said.
