Mangaluru, Jan 7: Hours after Basheer, who was assaulted in Kottara Chowki on the night of January 3, breathed his last in a private hospital in the city, the blame-game began with the local unit of PFI holding the RSS responsible for his death.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday January 7, PFI district secretary A K Ashraf said, "RSS is responsible for Basheer's murder. The attack on Basheer was planned by RSS and other right-wing outfits.
"The BJP and its mother organization RSS are committing these murders to polarise votes. Those arrested for Basheer's murder are notorious criminals are they are working for right-wing outfits," he said.
Attacking BJP leaders, Ashraf said, "BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje is visiting only the houses of Hindus who have been murdered by miscreants and giving speeches on nationalism. Being a responsible elected representative, why is she speaking only on behalf of one community?"
"We demand special investigation into the murders of Sharath Madivala, Paresh Mesta, and Deepak Rao too. People want to know who are behind on this," he added.
