An RSS worker was stabbed to death early Wednesday, allegedly by a group of Marxists in an apparent retaliatory attack in Pinarayi, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s native village in Kannur district. Twenty-year-old Remith was stabbed two days after the killing of a CPI(M) worker. He was killed by CPI(M) workers in 2002. Tension gripped the area after the murder and administration had clamped prohibitory orders in different parts of the district. The volatile north Kerala district is notorious for RSS-Marxist clashes that have claimed more than 300 lives in three decades.
