What FACTLY found

The video is actually of a march organized by ‘The Popular Front of India (PFI)’, an Islamic organisation in Kerala’s Malappuram in remembrance of the fight that took place between the Britishers and the people of Malabar in 1921. In this march, few people dressed up as RSS workers were handcuffed and paraded on the streets. The video does not show any real incident of handcuffed RSS workers paraded by Muslims
