A recent musical performance at a temple managed by the Travancore Devaswom Board in Kerala featuring the RSS ‘gana geetham’ has stirred up controversy, with the Congress accusing the RSS of politicizing religious spaces. The Congress has called for action in line with a high court directive that prohibits political activities on temple premises. The event allegedly included the display of RSS flags, prompting a police investigation into the matter. This incident comes on the heels of a previous controversy involving CPM songs being played at another temple festival. The clash over the use of religious spaces for political purposes continues to be a contentious issue in Kerala.
