In the southern district of Kollam, tensions reached a boiling point on Tuesday as activists from CPI(M) and Congress engaged in a violent clash, leaving several injured. Among the injured was Vidhun, the branch secretary of the Marxist party, who sustained stab wounds and was subsequently hospitalized.
The altercation was reportedly sparked by an existing feud between the Kerala Students' Union (KSU), affiliated with Congress, and the Students' Federation of India (SFI), linked to CPI(M). A protest march organized by Congress members escalated into violence, highlighting the ongoing rivalry between the two factions.
Police are currently investigating the incident, which has heightened political tensions in the region. Despite the violence, Vidhun's condition remains stable as authorities monitor the situation closely.
