The CPI(M) described the two killings that took place in Palakkad within 24 hours as an attempt by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) to destroy the people’s peaceful coexistence in the district by unleashing violence.
CPI(M) district secretary E.N. Suresh Babu, in a statement here on Saturday, said that the role of the BJP leadership in the murders should be investigated. He described the visit of BJP State president K. Surendran in Palakkad two days ago as an ominous one.
Mr. Babu said that the RSS chose to avenge the killing of its worker A. Sanjit by targetting SDPI worker A. Subair in such a way as to create and spread a message of terror. “Both the RSS and the SDPI appear to be hell-bent not to let the people live in peace in Palakkad,” he said.
