Asserting that the Communist Party of India (Marxist) is a combination of German dictator Adolf Hitler and Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Thursday said Sitaram Yechury talks of liberal democracy but his party lives in duality.

RSS ideologue Rakesh Sinha said the CPM government in Kerala and the party are engaged in violence against the Sangh and BJP.

"The reason is very obvious. The RSS is expanding and BJP is growing in the state that is not being tolerated by the CPM as a party. Secondly, CPM lives in duality. Its creed is violence, but Sitaram Yechury in Delhi talks of liberal democracy," Sinha told ANI.

"I think the Government of India should take cognizance of growing violence in Kannur. Almost 250 Swayamsevaks have been killed till now," he added.

The BJP's Kerala unit today staged a protest outside the secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram against the murder of a party worker in Kannur.

The BJP has called for a shutdown in the state to protest against the murder of its activist allegedly by the CPI-M members in Pinarayi village in Kannur district.

The BJP, which has demanded a CBI probe into the murder, has also accused Kerala's Left Democratic Front government and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan of unleashing "political terrorism" in Kerala.
