Statement by Spokesman Ram Madhav

Murder and Mayhem at Marad Beach
The RSS strongly condemns the naked
dance of death unleashed on the Hindu fishermen community by the Islamic
terrorist elements in Marad beach near Kozhikode last week in which 8 members
of the Sangh were brutally murdered while many others, including women,
were seriously injured. This incident confirms our worst fears that Kerala
coast has of late become asafe haven for the anti-national Islamic terrorist
outfits sponsored and supported by the ISI.
Growing presence and influence of
Islamic terrorist outfits has been causing alarm in the minds of right
thinking people in the State for quite sometime. It was just a month ago
that the General Officer Commanding the military operations in the Southern
region Major Anup Singh Jamwal had observed that the ISI had intensified
its efforts to get a foothold into the Southern States. He also warned
that unless nipped in the bud, the ISI could have far reaching consequences
in Kerala.
Kerala's coastline is open to clandestine
operations from the sea. There is a systematic effort to clear the coastline
of all non-Muslims. Madrasas and mosques are coming up in large numbers
all along the coastline. And some of these have become hubs of anti-national
activities. The very fact that the murderers at Marad beach were arrested
from the local Jama Masjid and also a huge cache of deadly weapons was
unearthed from the Mosque buttresses this point.
The fact that half of the murderers
reportedly belong to the Muslim League which is a partner in the ruling
coalition and most of them were said to be owing allegiance to an Islamic
terrorist outfit called NDF should open the eyes of our pseudo-secular
brigade which scrambles for securing the support of the League for narrow
political ends and gives certificates of patriotism to it.
We urge the Government of India
to take serious note of the increasing anti-national activities in Kerala
and take immediate measures to curb the menace. There is a need to involve
Central intelligence agencies in probing into the situation in Kerala.
We call upon the Hindu society to strongly resist, by all constitutional
and moral means, the efforts for religious homogenisation of the Kerala
coast.
