THRISSUR: The RSS on Friday attacked director Priyanandan in connection with a Facebook post on Sabarimala issue. He said that he was assaulted and cow dung water was sprinkled at his house. His post on Sabarimala issue had sparked a controversy. Following the incident, he has been admitted at a government hospital.

The director was attacked this morning while going to a shop at Vallamchira Junction at 9 am. He said BJP and RSS activists are behind the incident and he could identify them. He is planning to lodge a complaint against the attack.

Sangh Parivar activists had earlier staged protests in the name of the post. He had withdrawn the post following cyber-attacks. He had asserted that he deleted the post as the language in the post was bad and that there is no change in his stand and is not ready to offer an apology.

Meantime, BJP leader B Gopalakrishnan said both the BJP and the RSS have no connection with the incident. If we had wanted to attack him it would have happened earlier. A march was staged towards his house in a democratic manner in the name of the post. The police had then blocked the march. A complaint was lodged and a case was registered. We had ended our protests later, added Gopalakrishnan.
