Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) State general secretary K.P.A. Majeed has exhorted the public to defeat the sinister designs of the RSS and its outfits to terrorise the State by observing a hartal through violent means.
In a statement here on Thursday, Mr. Majeed alleged that RSS activists went on a rampage on the streets attacking shops in the name of the hartal.
At the same time, he accused the police, who were bound to provide protection to the citizens, of remaining mute spectators to the violence. Shop owners after believing the assurance given by the District Collector and the Police Commissioner had opened their establishments.
However, hartal supporters attacked the shops as well as mediapersons. Despite intelligence reports, the police could not take precautionary measures to tackle the violent protesters. The State government should adequately compensate for the loss of shop owners, Mr. Majeed said.
The IUML leader also said that the Left government should have taken a ‘constructive decision’ while objecting to religious traditions. The government stance was giving ammunition to Sangh Parivar outfits.
