Kozhikode : For RSS, the caste code - held on leash for time being in view of their rally against minorities - sometimes breaks loose like it did in Kozhikode’s Ballussery where, saffron activists barred a tribal couple from getting married at a temple controlled by them in the region.
When the word spread around, CPI(M) workers in the area quickly came to the aid of the distressed family and arranged an alternative venue at a library, for the couple’s marriage ceremony, marking a win for humanness over caste discrimination that runs deep in the saffron commune.
Incidentally, the Kummuly Thrikovil temple that shut its doors on the young bride is located close to the residence of BJP state president K Surendran.
