THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Former president of Congress unit in Kerala M.M. Hassan has accused the Pinarayi Vijayan-led LDF government of attempting to “saffronise” Kerala’s education system to appease the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

He said the state’s move to implement the PM SHRI scheme, despite opposition from the CPI, the second-largest party in the ruling LDF, is a deliberate attempt to align with the BJP’s ideological agenda.

“The government is luring people with the promise of central funds, just like leading a goat to the slaughterhouse by showing it green grass, ” Hassan remarked.
