    CPM and RSS are equally responsible for political murders. both the parties to not to try justify the wrong doings of their party. Murders are in front of the families. First you people think about those families and their loss. very sad.

    Again 2 followers are gone and the bosses sitting pretty safe. Extremism has no life it only has end. These parties believe in such ideologies with different fringe groups such as Naxals to Communal outfits and this is the result.

    Correct, the political leaders of all parties are safe sitting at the ivory tower when the street followers are killing each other and deserting their families to eternal misery and sorrow.

    Since BJP took the steering in New Delhi, the RSS-VHP-BD etc, the made in North India ideology of fragmentation of the society began to show their real color in creating problems in Kerala. The UDF didn't take firm actions. That was one of the main reasons why the minorities as a united front did cast their votes for the LDF candidates led by the communist party.

    The communist party followers will be standing firm against the north Indian import, but the tragedy is the bloodshed.

    Once well known Kerala of her religious harmony is totally stained now since the RSS rule in New Delhi with a BJP signboard was started.

    Oh it's not Terrorism and NIA will not probe as did in Joseph's hand chop. Hand chop is more dangerous than murder in India as cow is more safer than human.
