RSS condemns TN BJP leaders' killing, seeks tough action

Salem, July 22: Condemning the brutal killing of Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary V Ramesh, the Rashtrtiya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) demanded effective steps to curb recurrence of such heinous attacks on Hindu leaders.

RSS Sah-sarkaryawah Dattatrey Hosabale addressing a press conference at Salem after visiting the house of the slain leader and consoling his bereaved family, said that the shocking incident of killing of Rameshji was a dastardly act of anti national jehadi terrorists.

He said that RSS severely condemned this brutality and demanded from the government to not only book the culprits at the earliest but also take effective steps to check recurrence of such heinous attacks.

The recent spate in violence and terror particularly against nationalist forces in Tamil Nadu is a worrisome development in the state's public life. There was a clear evil design and conspiracy behind these targeted attacks. All right thinking people should raise united voice against this, he appealed.

He said that late Ramesh was an ardent worker of Sangh and BJP, who endeared himself to a vast section of society by his helping nature. Being a noble soul he had no enemies. His sacrifice will not go in vain. It will inspire karyakartas of our movement to accept the challenge and work with redoubled vigour for the cause.

The RSS leader thanked all the people who spontaneously participated in the funeral of the slain leader. The large turnout of people shows the popularity and affection late Ramesh enjoyed as also their silent protest and anger against this heinous act.
