Political Controversy Erupts Over Mammootty's Visit, BJP Leader Responds!

Malayalam superstar Mammootty has faced criticism on social media following his visit to the residence of BJP Kerala state vice-president and advocate B. Gopalakrishnan. The actor visited the BJP leader's house to congratulate the newlyweds after he was unable to attend his daughter's wedding in Thrissur. However, videos of the visit went viral on social media, triggering criticism from accounts believed to be aligned with the CPM. Several prominent political leaders, including Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Opposition Leader V.D. Satheesan and various Union and state ministers, had attended the wedding.

Responding to the controversy, B. Gopalakrishnan claimed that those targeting Mammootty online were not genuine CPM workers but individuals posing as party supporters on social media. He said he maintained cordial relationships with leaders across political parties. He also pointed out that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Opposition Leader V.D. Satheesan and several Congress leaders had attended his daughter's wedding without any controversy. He criticised those behind the online attacks, describing them as people without a proper identity.
