Apart from this, BJP National Executive member PK Krishnadas also lodged a complaint with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights. He said that there are Hindu and Christian students also in the school. Attempts are being made to incite communal hatred among them.
Police said the badges were being distributed at the school gate. The students were forced to pin these badges on their uniforms. A case has been registered against Munir Najar of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), a political wing of the PFI. They may be arrested, if necessary, after interrogation.
Kattangal Panchayat is ruled by CPI (M) with the support of SDPI. Therefore, the Police were not taking action against the criminals.
