Oppn moves adjournment motion, says RSS-CP (M) rivalry turning Kerala into 'murder centre'

The Congress on Wednesday brought an adjournment motion in the Kerala State Assembly to discuss the rising political violence in Kannur.

The Opposition party has accused Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI (M)) rivalry behind the rising crime in the city and making Kerala as a murder center.

Declining the allegation of the Congress, CPI (M) leader and Kerala's Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that the RSS makes deliberate attempt to create law and order problems in Kannur and alleged that till now six peace talk has failed as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) kept away from it.

He further said that the police take strong actions with special control rooms and bomb squad adding that there is no emergency to discuss the matter in the assembly.

Early this month, a CPM and a BJP worker were murdered in the Kannur.

The CP (M) worker was killed and the BJP activist was hacked to death at a petrol pump near Pinarayi in Kannur district in Kerala.

Meanwhile, both CPM and BJP are now blaming each other for the death of their respective party workers.
