Members of KSU and MSF in Kerala protested against alleged plus-one seat shortage in the northern Malabar region, leading to violent clashes in some areas. The Congress-affiliated KSU and Indian Union Muslim League's MSF organized marches criticising the Left government. The protests included stone-pelting and clashes with police in Kollam, with similar demonstrations in Kozhikode, Wayanad, and Malappuram districts. The government denies a crisis, citing vacant seats post-admissions, amid criticism after a student's suicide over seat anxiety.
