‘ Battle cry’ between CPM, RSS rages on FB

- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

The battle cry between the CPM and RSS men is raging on Facebook following the murder of the RSS leader in Kannur on Monday.

CPM state secretaria­t member P. Jayarajan’s son Jain Raj hailed the murder in a post but deleted it soon after the party dissociate­d itself from the incident.

“Since how long we have been waiting to hear this good news. Congratula­tions dear comrades. Feeling xcited,” read Jain Raj’s post.

Reacting to the Facebook post, home minister Ramesh Chennithal­a said that the intelligen­ce wing had brought the issue to the government’s notice. “Though the post has now been withdrawn, we will probe into the matter,’’ he said at a press conference here.

But a couple of hours later, another post appeared on his Facebook page justifying the earlier remarks. “I saw the news that P. Jayarajan’s son has posted some offending post. My only crime is that I hailed the comrades of Kathirur. But nobody asked why? Sangh Parivar wants to burn me alive. Some others want to teach me the technical side of discipline. But those coming to attack with a battle cry and those giving advice should understand that I am a son. When I hear that the person who dipped my childhood in blood, who incapacita­ted my father and who hacked our Surendrett­an, is lying dead on the road. As a son I will definitely rejoice.”

Meanwhile, a team led by ADGP crimes S. Aananthakr­ishnan will probe into the murder of RSS district pramukh Elanthotta­thil Manoj.
