CPI State secretary Binoy Viswam’s remarks against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) holding a Kumbh Mela at Tirunavaya have triggered a political controversy, with BJP leaders accusing him of opposing Hindu traditions.

Speaking at a CPI meeting on secularism near the Gandhi statue at Tirunavaya on Saturday, Mr. Viswam said those seeking to hold the Kumbh Mela there were promoting the politics of Nathuram Godse, who killed Mahatma Gandhi.
