Arun Jaitley meets kin of slain RSS worker, calls the murder ‘most brutal’ Last Updated : 06 Aug 2017 04:03:01 PM IST Union Minister Arun Jaitley
Union finance minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday visited the family of an RSS activist who was murdered by suspected CPI-M workers in Kerala and called it a 'most brutal killing'.
'Even an enemy country wouldn’t do this kind of brutality but a political party did this,' Jaitley said after meeting the distraught family
Jaitley, who drove from the airport to Rajesh’s home, met his wife, two children and other family members.
He then addressed a commemorative meeting and said there was a saga of political violence in Kerala.
'Governments are elected to do good for the people,' said the veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader.
'But in Kerala the ruling party is perpetrating violence on the people. This type of ideology won’t crush our ideology. We have faced such violence through generations.'
The CPI-M organised a sit-in protest in front of the Raj Bhavan, the official residence of the governor P Sathasivam, asking Jaitley to also visit the families of its cadres allegedly killed by BJP and RSS workers.
Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has called a meeting of leaders of political parties in Kerala to discuss ways to maintain peace.
