RSS leader Kundan Chandrawat’s announcement of a bounty of Rs 1 crore on Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s head was widely condemned in Kerala.
The announcement in Ujjain on Thursday drew huge backlash as Vijayan’s supporters flooded Chandrawat’s Facebook page with a generous dose of abusive words, mostly in Malayalam.
Threat dismissed
Vijayan, however, chose to dismiss the public threat as given before.“The RSS has beheaded many people. That doesn’t mean I can’t travel anywhere. I dismiss this call to kill with contempt,” the chief minister said.
Leader of the Opposition in the Kerala Legislative Assembly Ramesh Chennithalaand Minister for Agriculture V S Sunil Kumar, among others, urged Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to order the arrest of the RSS’ Ujjain mahanagar prachar pramukh.
