Thiruvananthapuram: Violence unleashed by any political party would be strongly dealt with, Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala said today.
He made the comment after a high-level meeting in of senior police officials and bureaucrats to review the law and order situation after a series of political clashes, involving the RSS-BJP and CPI-M activists on the eve of Onam.
The law would be strictly adhered to and none would be spared if they indulge in activities that disturb the peace as was recently the case on account of political rivalry, he told reporters.
"There has been a concerted move to disturb the peace in the state. My requests to the RSS-BJP and the CPI-M is to end these politics of violence. At no cost will the law breakers be allowed to go scot-free," said Chennithala. "It will be put down with an iron hand," he added.
In the violence that broke out last week, one member each of the BJP and CPI-M were killed and a dozen others injured in five districts, including Kasargode and Kannur.
