The Brahmapuram issue has been a contentious one in Kerala, with people in the region facing numerous problems as a result of it. Critics of the Pinarayi Vijayan regime have accused it of being lukewarm in its approach to resolving the issue.
Many Twitter users also used the opportunity to question whether Xi Jinping was democratically elected as president. The demands for the CM to break his silence on the Brahmapuram issue continue to grow on the platform.
Tweeter user Sreejith Panickar said, What revolution? His treatment of Muslims? Since 2014, the Uyghur Muslims are being persecuted in Xi’s China. More than 15000 mosques are razed down. Shameful that you say China has prominent voice in global politics. Don’t you know whose voices they want to suppress? Loyalties!
