Kannur: A group of CPM (Communist Party of India (Marxist)) activists armed with sticks allegedly attacked a group of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS workers while they were attending meeting in Kerala's northern district of Kannur. One RSS worker has been hospitalised following the attack.
Police sources said that some of the attackers have been identified. "They were more than 30 and seem to be CPM supporters. A police case under section 308 will be registered shortly," a police official said.
The district has been witnessing a series of clashes between CPM and RSS workers after the May 16 Assembly polls which saw the CPM-led LDF government coming to power in the state.
Last week, a 25-year-old RSS activist created a political furore when he alleged that he was harassed by the outfit. The activist, Vishnu S, alleged that he was forced to write a suicide note by RSS blaming Kannur CPM District Secretary.
"I have led the attacks on churches in Attingal in Thiruvananthapuram. Sangh told us and we did it. I was also involved in blocking buffaloes during Raman season near a mosque, creating problems locally," he alleges.
