Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday condemned the reported act of the Southern Railway making school students sing an RSS song onboard the newly inaugurated Vande Bharat Express from Ernakulam to Bengaluru.

In a statement issued by the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO), Vijayan said that the reported act by the Southern Railway deserves to

be protested.

Visuals on TV channels showed students singing the RSS song onboard the Vande Bharat Express.

He said that including the song of the RSS, which allegedly constantly spreads anti-religious hatred and communal divisive politics, in the official programme of the government is a violation of constitutional principles.
