RSS Attacks on SFI Activists in Kerala

The ABVP-RSS goons have been targeting SFI activists in Kerala.  In the past few weeks, there were several attacks on SFI leaders in various parts of Kerala. 

December 16, 2016: KS Akhil, SFI unit president of Kerala Varma College in Thrissur was attacked on his way to the college by two ABVP-RSS men on a bike.  He suffered injuries to his right hand and had to be admitted to hospital.

January 18, 2017: Rathin Raj, joint secretary of Konni area committee of SFI in Pathanamthitta district was attacked by about 20 RSS goondas.  He was attacked with a sword and iron roads and suffered deep cuts on his heads, hands and other parts of his body.  He was admitted to the Pathanamthitta General Hospital. 

January 18, 2017: On the same day, another Left activist, Aril, was stabbed by a gang at the Brennen College in Kannur district. He, along with other SFI activists, were attacked when they returned to the campus after a study tour.  Aril was wounded in his hands and legs.

February 14, 2017: Dheeraj P Dominic, the SFI unit Secretary in Kizhur Vivekananda College was attacked by ABVP goons and was severely injured and had to be hospitalised. 

These incidents show how the ABVP-RSS are physically targeting SFI activists in Kerala.  These cowardly attacks are being made as the SFI is a strong force among the students in the state.  The ABVP is indulging in goondaism in other university campuses as recently seen in Delhi University and Pune University.
