RSS seeks judicial inquiry into political killings in Kerala, slams CPM

The spate of political killings in Kerala have shifted swiftly from Kannur to Thiruvananthapuram.

Slamming the Kerala government for failing to act on attacks against its workers, the RSS demanded an independent inquiry. The RSS has demanded that a judicial body or central agencies must probe political killings in Kerala.

"17 RSS workers have been killed and the Kerala government is doing nothing. Their attitude has not changed despite several assurances and promises to ensure peace. We demand an inquiry from either a judicial body or central agencies," said Dattatreya Hosabale, Joint General Secretary, RSS.

The RSS ideologue asked if it had become a crime for a person to support or promote a nationalist organisation in Kerala. "Don't RSS workers have the right to work for their organisation in Kerala? Such state-supported violence will not be tolerated. There is an uproar when people are killed in all other parts of the country but when RSS workers are murdered in Kerala, there is no outrage," Hosabale added.

He highlighted that those killed in political violence also included a woman and Dalits. "We have no personal enmity with anyone. The Kerala government has been misusing the state police and we have no faith. Let an independent body probe the cases," he demanded.

Earlier the National Human Rights Commission had sought a report from the Kerala government over incidents of political killings.
