THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: RSS activists staged a protest against self-proclaimed spiritual and social activist Swami Agnivesh from attending a programme at a temple here on Wednesday.

The protest was staged when Swami Agnivesh, who is here to attend a meeting here on Thursday, reached Poojappura Saraswati Devi temple to attend a cultural programme this evening.

The RSS activists, who questioned certain anti-Hindu remarks by a few speakers of the event, staged the protest against Swami Agnivesh from attending the event. Swami soon left. The incident was around 11:30 am.

Swami Agnivesh told the media that hate, communalism, attacks are spreading like a virus in the Modi era. He is set to participate in different programs in the state capital.
