Original review summary

The video shows a Red Volunteer March in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, on 6 April 2025, during the CPI(M) Party Congress—not a rally in Kerala supporting the slain Maoist leaders. The review says the march took place before their deaths and had no connection to a protest supporting them.[S1]
