CPM Worker Brutally Attacked in Kozhikode, Party Points Finger at RSS
A violent incident has shaken the Muthuvannacha area near Perambra in Kozhikode, where a dedicated Communist Party of India (Marxist) worker was brutally hacked by a group of assailants on Monday night. The attack has sparked outrage and allegations of political vendetta, with the CPM directly blaming the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for orchestrating the assault.
Details of the Gruesome Assault
The victim, identified as K Dineshan, a 49-year-old CPM branch committee member, was returning home on his motorbike around 8:15 PM when he was ambushed by a five-member gang. Dineshan, who runs a puja shop in Kuttiyadi, was subjected to a vicious hacking attack that left him with severe injuries on his head and hands. The assailants reportedly targeted him in a premeditated manner, highlighting the brazen nature of the violence.
Immediate Medical Response and Hospitalization
Following the attack, Dineshan was rushed to the Perambra taluk hospital for initial treatment. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was later shifted to the Kozhikode Government Medical College for advanced medical care. His condition is being closely monitored, and the incident has raised concerns about the safety of political workers in the region.
Political Allegations and Escalating Tensions
The CPM has not minced words in its response, alleging that the RSS was behind this coordinated attack. This accusation adds fuel to the ongoing political tensions between the two organizations in Kerala. The party has called for a thorough investigation and swift action against the perpetrators, emphasizing the need to curb such acts of political violence.
Broader Implications and Community Impact
This incident underscores the volatile political climate in parts of Kerala, where clashes between rival groups occasionally turn violent. It has prompted calls for enhanced security measures and dialogue to prevent further escalation. The local community in Perambra and surrounding areas is on edge, with many expressing shock and condemnation over the brutality of the attack.
Authorities are expected to intensify their probe into the matter, with forensic teams and police personnel working to gather evidence and identify the assailants. The outcome of this investigation could have significant repercussions for political dynamics in Kozhikode and beyond.
