He said the right wing had over the past few days, following the attack against him, spread blatant lies to discredit him. The recent incidents in the State, be it in Vadayambadi, or the disrespect against an artist’s body in Kochi, or the attack against me, are part of an onslaught of religious terrorism against secularism,” said the poet.
