UNION Home Minister Rajnath Singh has reacted to the political violence in Kerala. In a tweet, the Home Minister said that he has spoken to Kerala CM Pinrayi Vijayan on Sunday regarding the recent incidents of political violence in the state.
The Home Minister expressed his concern with the law and order situation in the state of Kerala and that political violence is unacceptable in a democracy.
The Home Minister hoped that the political violence in Kerala is curbed and that the perpetrators are brought to justice expeditiously.
A gang led by a history sheeter had attacked the 34-year-old RSS ‘karyavahak’and hacked him to death.
Police said 34-year-old Rajesh’s left hand was chopped off in the attack around at 9 pm. An investigation has been launched and search is on for assailants.
BJP state president Kumanam Rajasekharan alleged that the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) was behind the attack, however, the accusation has been denied by the district leadership of the CPI-M.
The state BJP chief said the party has called for a state-wide hartal on Sunday.
Police are maintaining a strict vigil and clamped prohibitory orders for three days from Saturday after BJP’s Kerala unit office was vandalised and the house of CPI-M state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan’s son Bineesh Kodiyeri was attacked.
Earlier, 10 people, including four from the student and youth wings of CPI-M, had been arrested in connection with the violence in the city.
