According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reporterlive.com\/kasaragod\/2023\/10\/22\/bus-does-not-stop-regularly-college-students-stopped-the-bus-in-kasaragod\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reporter article<\/a>, buses would often leave without stopping at a newly constructed bus stop near Khansa Women&#8217;s College for Advanced Studies at Bhaskara Nagar on Kumbala-Mulleria KSTP road in Kerala&#8217;s Kasaragod. As a result, the students of Khansa Women\u2019s College on October 22 stopped the bus on the road and protested.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-169401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/chrome_HXQi4Gvdz1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1270\" height=\"1422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/chrome_HXQi4Gvdz1.jpg 1270w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/chrome_HXQi4Gvdz1-268x300.jpg 268w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/chrome_HXQi4Gvdz1-915x1024.jpg 915w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2023\/10\/chrome_HXQi4Gvdz1-768x860.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1270px) 100vw, 1270px\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">We reached out to Kumbala SHO VV Rajeevan who refuted the viral claims of a communal angle in the incident. He informed us that the bus would not stop at the new bus stop in front of Khansa Women&#8217;s College and would only stop at the old bus stop which was also approximately half a kilometre away. The students of the college thus got agitated and decided to protest. He added that the altercation seen in the viral video took place when the saree-clad woman attempted to voice her opposition to the students&#8217; protest. The students told her that she had failed to understand their plight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">We also found a detailed reportage of the incident on a YouTube channel called Public Kerala. In the video, the host <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/o2ATdqYrf1s?feature=shared&amp;t=170\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reiterates<\/a> what the girls said to the saree-clad woman. According to him, the girls said, &#8220;You are not supporting us; you are opposing us because you don&#8217;t fully comprehend our predicament. If your children were facing the same issue of buses not stopping day after day, you would stand by us as well.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">[youtube https:\/\/youtu.be\/o2ATdqYrf1s?feature=shared]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">Moreover, we learnt from this video that the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) had expressed solidarity with the students&#8217; demand. The entire incident was corroborated by DYFI leader Hairaz Kumbala in a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/o2ATdqYrf1s?feature=shared&amp;t=341\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">byte<\/a>. According to him, the new bus stop in front of the college is almost ready. However, the buses would not stop for the students since the students enjoyed a concession on the bus ticket. The buses would take passengers who pay full price for the tickets and stop at the other stop about 500 meters away. However, with the intervention of the DYFI, local people and the police, buses had started to take students aboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">Marunadan TV spoke to college principal Narayanan who said that none of the buses on that route stopped in front of the new bus stop. Students would have to go half a kilometre to reach the place where the buses actually stopped. They had tried communicating with the bus driver about the situation, but the staff did not budge. The situation escalated when, on that particular day, students had been waiting for an extended period, and two to three buses passed without stopping. This led to the students becoming agitated and deciding to block the bus&#8217;s path. Even in the face of protests, the driver and conductor remained unresponsive to the students&#8217; concerns Upon being asked if the police had been informed, Narayanan said that the police, the local MLA and the regional transport office were in the know of things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XyYe8Q1qj5s?si=zXKHVnp2XNUMAwMm&amp;start=185]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">Alt News also spoke to Basantha Pai from the Shree Guruvayurappan bus services, whose bus was involved in the controversy. Acknowledging that the incident did occur, he said it was an isolated event. Refuting any communal aspect to the incident, he said &#8220;People can portray this incident in whichever way they want. The students are generally very peaceful and cordial. I don&#8217;t know why they suddenly got agitated that day. The demand for the buses to stop at the new bus stop has been an ongoing issue and is not communal in any way&#8221;. According to him the RTO had rejected a plea for a bus stop in front of the college. He said he had no knowledge about the altercation with the saree-clad woman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">We also sourced a video of some police officials trying to reason with the bus driver and the bus conductor. The police officials are heard instructing the bus staff to stop at the bus stop and pick up the students who are waiting at the stop while the staff tries to reason with the police. It is quite clear that no communal issue is being discussed in the viral video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">[vimeo https:\/\/vimeo.com\/878903651]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif\">Hence, it is clear that Right Wing users have given a false communal twist to the incident in Kasaragod. Some students of the Khansa Women&#8217;s College protested against buses not stopping at the bus stop near their college. A clip from the protest has gone viral with users falsely claiming that some burqa-clad women were trying to impose Sharia laws on a Hindu woman.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video of a group of women clad in burqa on a bus engaged in an altercation with a woman in a saree is viral with the claim that the Muslim women were forcing their religion on a Hindu woman.
