Kochi, July 10: Kerala unit of the RSS today protested against alleged attempts to foist false cases against leaders of the Hindu organisations who were spearheading agitations to project the demands of the affected Hindu families at Marad. False criminal cases were allegedly being registered against prominent leaders of the Hindu Aikyavedi and RSS for addressing public meetings, A R Mohanan, RSS Prantha Karyavah, said in a release here today.

The chief minister who was also holding the home portfolio should make clear whether these actions were taken with his knowledge and consent.

The government attempt to put down the agitations with the help of police would only complicate the situation, he cautioned.

Alleging that even after two months of the incident at Marad, the government had not shown any sincere attempt to nab the people behind the killing, he said. In the incident on May 2, nine people lost their lives.

Reiterating their the demand for a CBI probe into the Marad massacre, he said even official agencies were demanding for such a probe.
In these circumstances, the chief minister should give up his adamant stand and take steps to hand over the enquiry to CBI, he added.
