The RSS on Monday hit back at Pinarayi Vijayan over his remark against RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and said the Kerala chief minister is playing with fire.

"The chief minister of Kerala is playing with fire. The Kerala government has been patronising, encouraging, giving shelter to jihadi elements. Lately their alliance to the PFA is a testimony that they are supporting jihadi element,” RSS ideologue Rakesh Sinha said.

Sinha said the Kerala chief minister is trying to divert the attention of people in the state from the statements made by Bhagwat.

On Sunday, Vijayan tore into Bhagwat for his allegation against the state government over supporting anti-national elements and said Keralites don't need advice on nationalism from the RSS.

In a Facebook post, Vijayan said Bhagwat's allegations against the state government are challenging.

"There is a memorable partnership of Kerala and Keralites in the freedom movement. The RSS, having tradition of turning back from the freedom struggle and embracing the British empire, does not need to teach Keralites what is patriotism," he said.

Vijayan's comment came after Bhagwat on Saturday said the governments of West Bengal and Kerala are "on the side of jihadi elements that are perpetrating the violence" there.
