Expressing solidarity with the families of the two Youth Congress workers who were hacked to death, Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala Tuesday called off his son's wedding reception and said the amount would be used for conducting the marriage of a deceased activist's sister.
The activists, Kripesh (24) and Sarath Lal (21), were waylaid and hacked to death at Periya in northern Kasaragod district while returning home after attending a function on Sunday night.
Chennithala, the leader of the opposition in the state assembly, said "the barbaric murder of two youth congress workers in their early twenties by CPI(M) goons has shaken the entire state like never before."
Chennithala said he had visited the houses of Kripesh and Sharath Lal and the situation there was "heart-rending."
