The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement on March 2.

THE Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the threats being issued by RSS leaders against the Kerala chief minister, Pinarayi Vijayan. A RSS leader in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh has announced a Rs 1 crore bounty for the democratically elected chief minister’s head.

By this the RSS has reconfirmed that it spearheads the politics of violence and terror as has been clear in Kerala in the recent months.

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands that immediate action in accordance with law must be taken by the state and the central governments. The silence of the governments is an endorsement that emboldens the RSS to issue such obnoxious threats.
