THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPM and BJP-RSS leaders have made another declaration of peace and promised to end the cycle of violence in the state. Their willingness to control their cadres emerged at a meeting held at the Mascot Hotel which was attended by top leaders, including Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
All-party meetings will be convened in Kottayam on August 1, Kannur on August 5 and Thiruvananthapuram on August 6 to restore peace, Mr Vijayan said.
“Party or organisational offices should not be attacked under any circumstances. I have condemned the unfortunate incidents that have happened in the city,” he said. Mr Vijayan promised to take steps to prevent untoward incidents in future.
The BJP and RSS team was led by BJP state president Kummanam Rajasekharan, MLA O. Rajagopal, RSS pranthakaryavahak P. Gopalankutty Master and RSS South India chief T. V. Prasad Babu.
It may be recalled that the CPM and BJP leaders had held peace meetings here and in Kannur three months ago.
