New Delhi : Strongly condemning the terrific incident of the killing of six members of a Muslim family including three children and a woman in Adilabad district in Andhra Pradesh, Sunday, the CPM said, “The Rashtriya Swamsevak Sangh (RSS) (a fanatic Hindu organisation) and the communal elements provoked the trouble while a Dusshera procession was being taken out last week”.
This killing of a Muslim family including three children and a woman who were burnt alive by putting their house to fire at Bhaisha town, is the latest act of violence in the town which has altogether seen ten people dead in the last 48 hours, said Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) in a statement.
“This incident underlines the necessity to take firm action against all the communal forces and organisations which are stoking violence in different parts of the country”, said the statement issued by the Central Committee of the CPI(M) now in session at Kolkata. Adding that it is surprising that the attack on the house has taken place even after curfew was imposed. The police and the district administration have not acted firmly against the culprits responsible for the communal violence.
Blaming the RSS and communal elements who provoked the trouble, the Central Committee demands that the Andhra Pradesh government take immediate steps for the protection of the minorities and to provide adequate compensation to those affected by the communal violence in Adilabad district.
