In a press release received late on Wednesday, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) Central Committee rejected the allegations that they were behind the killing of Gauri Lankesh.
CPI(M) spokesperson Abhay appealed to people to protest the killing of Gauri Lankesh and demanded punishment to her killers.
“We emphatically reject and strongly condemn the patently false insinuation made by some leaders of RSS and BJP suggesting that our party might be behind this murder,” he said.
