Mr Kodiyeri said that top brass of RSS and BJP are involved in the attack.

“The CPM always stands for peace. However, the RSS-BJP leadership are taking refuge in violence in CPM belts and resorting to attacks by not letting the party members to live peacefully. In order to face the RSS threat, party workers should train themselves with physical exercises along with political education. However, don’t attack any houses, shops or other establishments,” he said. Violence spread in areas around on Payyannur during July second week after CPM leader C.V. Dhanaraj and BMS leader C.K.
