The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) district unit has decided to launch a campaign demanding the arrest of all people involved in the murder of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activist K.V. Shyam Prasad, allegedly by Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) workers, at Kommeri here on January 19.
BJP district president P. Sathyaprakash told a press conference here on Tuesday that only four SDPI workers had been arrested so far in connection with the murder.
He alleged that the conspiracy in the case was yet to be investigated. He said that the State had become the hub of terrorist activities with Kannur its epicentre.
The BJP’s decision to launch the campaign over the murder of the ABVP worker is apparently to utilise the sentiments against the SDPI in the aftermath of the murder of Students Federation of India activist Abhimanyu at the Maharaja’s College in Ernakulam last month.
The BJP would organise various protest programmes on July 26, 27 and 28.
The party would also take out a march to the Collectorate on July 31 to demand that a special team of the police be ordered to probe the murder and that the investigation be handed over to a national agency, if the special team failed to arrest the conspirators.
