India: ‘liquor-free-Kerala’ takes a communal turn

Kerala prohibition takes communal turn: Hindu groups see Christian, Muslim hand

A Hindu organisation claimed that the 'impractical decision' stemmed from the rivalry within the Congress.

The debate over a ‘liquor-free-Kerala’ has taken a communal turn with two powerful Hindu organisations questioning the Congress government’s steps towards imposing prohibition, which have found support from leaders of Christian and Muslim communities.

Vellappally Nateshan, the leader of backward Hindu organisation Sree Narayanad Dharma Paripalana Yogam, has said the government’s move would affect members of his community in the liquor business.
