New Delhi, July 30: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday urged Kerala Chief Minister Pinrayi Vijayan to curb political violence in the state, a day after an RSS activist was hacked to death in Thiruvananthapuram.
"Spoke to Kerala CM regarding the recent incidents of political violence in the state," tweeted Singh.
"I have expressed my concern about the law and order situation in the state. Political violence is unacceptable in a democracy. I expect the political violence in Kerala is curbed and the perpetrators are brought to justice expeditiously."
