RSS worker killed in Kerala's Thrissur

THRISSUR: A Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) worker was allegedly murdered in Kerala's Thrissur on Sunday. The RSS worker, identified as Anand, was an accused in the murder case of a Communist Party of India CPM activist four years ago. Anand was currently out on bail.

The incident occurred at around 1.30 pm when Anand, who was on a two-wheeler, was knocked down by a car. He was then hacked to death. Earlier, many similar incidents of assault have been reported that have political tension in the state. The BJP has been accusing the Left government of killing the political leaders.

BJP president Amit Shah, who also participated in the rally, hit out at the LDF government and questioned whether Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has come in power to kill BJP and RSS workers.

“I condemn the brutal killing of a young RSS Swayamsevak K Anand in Guruvayur, Kerala.

The continuous violence by CPM workers & the protection to such political killings is now before the nation. CM Pinarayi must explain what his govt is doing to curb criminal elements in his rank,” Shah wrote on Twitter.
