"CPI(M) strongly condemns the mob attack which resulted in the gruesome killing of a man and critically injuring his son.
"The government has to crack down against all those indulging in such communal propaganda. Police must uncover the culprits behind this motivated attack and take firm action to apprehend the guilty and bring them to justice," CPI (M) said in a statement.
The incident has occurred in the backdrop of provocative statements being made by Union ministers and various BJP leaders, the statement said.
