BJP forms panel to investigate attacks in Kerala

September 11, 2016 12:50 am | Updated October 18, 2016 02:12 pm IST - New Delhi:

Expressing concern over “growing incidents of attack” on BJP workers in Kerala, party president Amit Shah has constituted a five-member team to visit the State and submit a report over the matter.

BJP general secretary Bhupendra Yadav will head the committee whose other members are party MPs Meenakshi Lekhi, Anant Hegde, Nalin Kateel and its secretary and Kerala in-charge H. Raja, a statement issued here on Saturday said.

The committee members will visit the State immediately and submit their report to Mr. Shah over the “growing” political violence targeting the party workers.

The decision comes in the wake of a crude bomb attack at the party’s office in Thiruvananthapuram which, it has alleged, was aimed at its State chief Kummanam Rajasekharan, who had left the office some time before the bomb was thrown.

The BJP has blamed workers affiliated with the Left for the attack on its and RSS functionaries
