The SDPI alleged that the murder was part of the RSS’s move to turn the state into a riot ground. The assassination proves that the RSS has set aside all the festive days for violence. SDPI state general secretary PK Usman said the failure to reach out to top RSS leaders was encouraging the militants to repeat the killings.
