 Kerala Chief Minister Vijayan calls the Kalamassery explosion "serious" and "unfortunate."

The explosions happened at the Jehovah's Witnesses conference, a Christian organization that was founded in the United States in the 1800s.

Speaking with reporters in Delhi, Vijayan said he had discussed the situation with the State DGP, who had already headed for the explosion scene with other top police personnel.

The explosion that occurred early on Sunday at a Christian religious group's convention center in Kalamassery, Kochi, was described as "unfortunate" and "serious" by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

Hibi Eden, a Congress MP from Ernakulam, informed reporters that he had heard from a friend who attended the conference that there had been many explosions during their visit to the bomb site.

The MP said that the Ernakulam District Collector, Kochi City Police Commissioner, bomb squad, and forensic team were all on the spot.

The explosions happened at the Jehovah's Witnesses conference, a Christian organization that was founded in the United States in the 1800s.

Speaking with reporters in Delhi, Vijayan said he had discussed the situation with the State DGP, who had already headed for the explosion scene with other top police personnel.

This is a regrettable occurrence. Two people are in critical condition, and one person passed away. The chief minister informed reporters in Delhi, where he was attending some party events, that an inquiry had been started and that further information will be forthcoming later. "The incident is being viewed very seriously," he said.

State secretary of the CPI(M), M V Govindan, who is also in Delhi, warned the media that harsh measures will be taken against any heinous deeds intended to deflect attention from the Palestine problem.

"Any heinous conduct intended to deflect attention from Kerala's solidarity with the Palestinian people would face severe consequences. "Together, the government and every democratic individual will denounce it," he said.

When asked whether he was characterizing the event as a prearranged plot to deflect focus away from the Palestine conflict, Govindan said that it needed more investigation. In addition, he said that, given the current political climate, such an occurrence seemed to be a component of a terror attack. "That needs to be examined seriously," he said.

In response to a question about whether he was claiming that the explosion was not an accident, Govindan said that, based on the information he has, how can it be an accident when bomb pieces had been discovered at the scene? The explosion claimed one life and left nearly twenty wounded.
