KANNUR: BJP district president N Haridas has rejected the allegations that RSS is behind the murder of the CPM activist Haridas. Our party has called for peace. CPM is reacting without understanding the reality, he criticized.

The accused should not be protected, that is what the BJP has to say. All the problems in the area have been unilaterally created by the CPM, he said. Let the police investigate and find out the facts, he added.

‘It is said that there were some disputes in connection with the festival. Let the investigation find out what led to the murder. Within minutes of the murder, the CPM had announced that these people were the culprits. CPM need not announce the accused. Let the investigating officers find out. BJP has no link with the murder. BJP is a party that has advised its members and activists to restrain themselves despite the provocative issues created by the CPM’, he said.
