A political controversy has erupted in Kerala after a video showed Hamas leader Khaled Mashal virtually participating in a pro-Palestine rally. The BJP is seeking action against the organizers and participants of the rally. Mashal's speech, in which he criticized Israel, has sparked sharp responses from the BJP.

The state chief of the youth wing argued that there was nothing illegal about Mashal's attendance at the event.
