A political controversy has erupted in Kerala after a video showed Hamas leader Khaled Mashal virtually participating in a pro-Palestine rally. The BJP is seeking action against the organizers and participants of the rally. Mashal's speech, in which he criticized Israel, has sparked sharp responses from the BJP.
