Amidst news of severe police clampdown in Kerala on peaceful protests by Sabarimala devotees, here comes another shocker: An Islamist outfit, Popular Front of India, is now reportedly beginning to flex its muscles against devotees who are on their way to the hill shrine.
Reports suggest that activists of the Popular Front of India attacked Sabarimala devotees in Malappuram district during a ‘namajapa’ procession.
The police took Sasikala, who is believed to be over 50, into preventive custody around 2 am for not following prohibitory orders. The police halted the Hindu Aikya Vedi state president at the hilltop, where she had come for darshan.
She was let off on bail on Sunday (17 November). In the alleged attack by PFI, two devotees are reported to have been injured. The devotees were again allegedly attacked for protesting against the attack.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
