Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan criticised the participation of three university Vice Chancellors in an RSS centenary programme attended by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, calling it a "grave lapse" and demanding that they apologise to the people of the state.

The controversy centres on the presence of the Vice Chancellors of Kerala University, Mahatma Gandhi University and Malayalam University at the RSS event held on Saturday as part of the organisation's centenary celebrations.
