CPI(M) capable of giving suitable answer to saffron outfits: Sitharam Yechury

CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Monday slammed the RSS-BJP, saying the Left party was capable of giving a suitable answer to the saffron outfits, if not stop political violence.

The CPI(M) on Monday held a march till the BJP headquarters here to protest against the alleged saffron terror in Kerala and to counter the ongoing protest marches of the BJP against the alleged violence by the Left.

"We will not keep quite. We warn the BJP that if they do not stop violence then we will answer back. We will not bow down," Yechury said.

The march was led by Mr. Yechury, who was joined by former party general secretary Prakash Karat and other Polit Bureau members.

Addressing party cadres in front of the BJP headquarters, Yechury alleged that while the BJP was campaigning in Delhi against the "Left violence" in Kerala, it were continuing violence against the Left cadres.

Yechury referred to Sunday's incident in which RSS workers allegedly threw bombs at Left cadres in Kannur.
