CPI(M) in Kerala on Sunday said the BJP had raised allegations of political violence against the Marxist party only to divert public attention from the brutality being perpetrated by RSS in Kannur in north Kerala. “The BJP should first rein in their workers only after which the party leaders should talk about political violence in Kerala,” CPI(M) State Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said in a statement. “BJP had sent the delegation only to divert public attention from the violence unleashed by RSS in Kannur. If the RSS workers lay down their arms in Kerala, political violence will end”, he said. Those who were behind the attack have now come to Kerala to probe into the violence in Kannur,” he alleged.
