Students from the Kerala Students' Union (KSU), affiliated with the Congress party, staged a black flag protest against Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar in the northern district on Saturday. The activists charged the Governor with attempting to enforce an RSS agenda in the state's universities.
Television footage captured the moment when two KSU members leaped towards the Governor's convoy, waving black flags as he traveled to Taliparamba for an event. In response, police swiftly pursued and detained the demonstrators, loading them into a police vehicle.
The protest is part of a larger movement against Arlekar, which sees participation from the Students' Federation of India (SFI), linked with the ruling CPI(M). Among their grievances is the Governor's decision to display a Bharat Mata portrait at Raj Bhavan during official ceremonies.
