"Amit Shah has always been the epitome of communalism. Even though he later became the Home Minister, his nature hasn't changed at all!"

Relevant excerpts from Kerala CM @vijayanpinarayi's response to Amit Shah 👇🏽

"BJP is a party which fuels religious divisiveness based on the RSS's ideology. Amit Shah is a prominent leader of that party. He comes to this land, which is known for its religious harmony and its infallible commitment to secular values, and dares to make these communal rants."

"Shah has asked me some questions apparently. But it wasn't me who was put in jail for fake encounters. Amit Shah should do well to remember who had to face criminal charges like murder, kidnapping & illegal surveillance."

"And since we are talking about suspicious deaths, shall we talk about the extrajudicial killings of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, Kauser Bi and Tulsiram Prajapati? Shot them all dead, remember? Who was accused for all these crimes? I hope Amit Shah hasn't forgotten his own past."

"Shall I also remind you about the CBI judge Loya who was about to hear this case and died under mysterious circumstances in 2014? There was major discrepancies in the postmortem report. Even now, his family is waiting for justice."

"Then in 2013, remember how a woman was put under illegal surveillance and was later forced to revoke her complaints? And what about the time when someone increased his wealth by 16000% and created 'Ache din'?"

"So, don't come here and try to teach us about ethics and justice. Your culture is different, our culture is different. Don't try to judge others based on your culture. We are not like you, make no mistake."

"This is the land of Sri Narayana Guru, Chattampi Swamikal, Mahatma Ayyankali and comrade P. Krishnapillai. They have taught us our culture. Kerala has always stood up against the divisive, communal agendas of Sangh parivar. So, your ways won't work here in Kerala."
