KERALA: RSS Goons Kill CPI(M) Leader

N S Sajith

IN yet another act of brutality and terror of the RSS, one more CPI(M) worker was killed on May 7, in Mahe, a part of Puducherry state near northern  border of Kannur district.  Comrade Kannippoyil Babu, former councilor of Mahe municipality and CPI(M) Mahe local committee member was gruesomely murdered by the RSS goons.

Comrade Babu had escaped a murder attempt last year. The brutal killing occurred soon after the culmination of an RSS armed training camp in Koothuparamba near Mahe. 

CPI(M) Kannur district secretariat, in a statement issued on May 7, has denounced the murder and observed a peaceful hartal in Kannur and Mahe on May 8. This incident shows that the RSS has never been interested to quit the path of violence, the statement added.

Mahe which falls under the jurisdiction of Puducherry, was under the direct rule of French even after India got independence in 1947.
