Sunni Students Federation of South India (SKSSF) and Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) condemned the murder of a Muslim youth on 27 May at Bantwal taluka in Dakshin Kannada district.
SKSSF state general secretary Anees Kausari said at a press conference here, these incidents of murders have created fear in the general public and threatened the livelihood and security of the working class.
Kausari said, Abdul Rahman was neither involved in criminal activities nor associated with any political group. He was known for his secular values and lived in harmony with people of all communities.
He said, he was also working as the General Secretary of the local Mohalla Committee and was an active activist of SKSSF. The organization has demanded immediate arrest of those responsible for spreading hatred through criminals and inflammatory speeches.
The SKSSF alleged, the murder is the direct result of the hate speech being broadcast openly by communal elements. The SDPI accused right -wing organizations of plotting Rahman’s assassination and strongly criticized the government’s silence. He alleged that such inactivity of the government is promoting such elements for violence. The leaders of both organizations demanded strict action against the right -wing forces responsible for the incident.
