There is a joke which goes, "you are not qualified to be a politician if you cannot foresee from where you are going to get thrashed," and we see a lot of politicians proving this.

Malayalis, who have seen the movie Oru Indian Pranayakadha directed by veteran Sathyan Anthikad, will certainly remember the scene in which the lead character, Ayamanam Sidharthan, a budding politician played by Fahadh Faasil, running for his life when a peaceful protest by his party turns violent and the police orders a lathicharge.

A similar incident happened in real when a protest march organised by the Muslim Students Federation (MSF) to the office of the Deputy Director of Education to raise their voice against delay in distribution of textbooks in state schools turned violent.

The MSF leader who led the protest march, Sayed Sharafudheen Jifri Thangal, said that violence is not MSF's way and that they will respect law. He also said that MSF won't turn away from the protest till the textbooks are distributed, reports The News Minute.

Meanwhile, some of the protestors got inside the office, possibly through the backgate, and submitted a petition. Things turned ugly when these members insisted that they want to come out through the gate barricaded by the police.

Within minutes, police geared up for a lathicharge and started thrashing whoever they could.

What happened next has made Sharafudheen some sort of a celebrity on the internet. The leader was seen running for his life, just like Fahadh's character in the movie.

The video was put out by Reporter TV on their YouTube channel and has gone viral on social media. People have also started making memes about the incident.

The Repoter TV anchor ends the video says, "People are just sad that the Indian Olympics Association failed to spot and recognise such talent amongst us."
