All parties condemn murder, petition Collector to restore peace
September 23, 2016
The violent fallout of the murder of Hindu Munnani leader Sasikumar last night, in Coimbatore, has prompted members of various political parties to petition District Collector T N Hariharan to find the culprits soon and help restore calm in the city.
Petitioning the Collector today, former CPI MLA M Arumugam urged the district administration to intervene soon.
“The violence can be brought down only if the accused are nabbed immediately,” he said.
He claimed that some anti-social elements were using the murder to get political mileage by attacking minorities. “We will stage a demonstration tomorrow condemning the attack,” said Arumugam.
Members from the DMK, DMDK, TMC, Thanthai Periyar Dravidar Kazhagam, CPI and CPM were also represented in the petition.
