The video of a 12-year-old daughter of an RSS worker, stating that her dreams have been shattered following her father's murder allegedly by CPI(M) workers has gone viral on social media.
In the video, the girl, Vismaya, is seen holding placards in Hindi, stating that her dream was to become an IPS officer and serve her village in Kerala's Kannur.
The girls is a class VIII student at a school in Kannur, a politically volatile district where CPI(M)-BJP-RSS clashes are a frequent affair.
"I see only darkness in my future," she says.
She says her dream was to become an IPS officer and serve people of her village and her father, Santosh, was making every effort to get her dreams realised.
But the family's dreams were shattered in a single night when her father was killed in January this year, she says.

"My father's only mistake was that he was a RSS/BJP follower. Now I can only see a dark future lying ahead of me. They killed not only my father, but our entire family, our dreams, our future, my aged grandfather, our food, our water," she says using placards during the 2.50 minute video.
"Why did they kill my father?. I have not received any answer so far. Our blood and tears are giving them happiness?" she asks.
Notably, a similar Facebook post by a martyred soldier's daughter, Gurmehar Kaur, stating that she was not afraid of ABVP, had gone viral recently and brought her in the centre of a countrywide debate on free speech.
