Photos of terror organisation Hamas leaders were seen to be displayed at the top of elephants during a cultural festival in Kerala’s Palakkad.
The regional festival which is called ‘Thrithala’ is organised every year by the people of the Thrithala panchayat.
The organisers have claimed that these photos were put up by certain groups which participated in the festival, as several groups participated in the concluding ceremony of the festival.
Bharatiya Janata Party Kerala president K Surendran alleged that anti-national organisations are functioning from the state of Kerala.

He, further, added that all such activities are being aided by the incumbent CPI(M) government for the purpose of vote-bank politics.
While speaking to media on Monday, Surendran said: “Radical elements and anti-national organisations are working in Kerala with the support and help of the CPI-M government... only the BJP in Kerala is working against the anti-national and terror organisations.”
Earlier in his post the BJP leader posted a video of the event and said, "One year ago, when BJP warned against a rally in Kerala where a Hamas leader virtually participated, the LDF govt took no action. Now, in Palakkad, terrorists who killed thousands were glorified–pictures of Ismail Haniyeh & Yahya Sinwar were paraded on elephants, where a Communist Minister and a former Congress MLA were also present.”
The BJP leader also questioned the silence of CM Pinarayi Vijayan.
