Kozhikode: LJD state president and Rajya Sabha MP, MV Shreyams Kumar stated that the twin murder committed in Thiruvananthapuram on Thiruvonam day was an attack on the conscience of Keralites.

He added that it was shocking to know that the criminals conspired and plotted to murder DYFI workers Mithilaj and Haq Muhammed.

The cruel mind of the criminals came to light as they committed murder on the day of Onam which is celebrated as a festival of unity. Even the memories of Gandhiji who stood for peace was hacked by his disciples with this act, he said.

No matter how hard they try, this blood stain won't disappear from the 'hands' of Congress. The leaders better remind their party workers that choosing the path of violence is inappropriate for any modern society, Shreyams Kumar said.

The MP added that he grieves the death of Haq Muhammed and Mithilaj along with their families and demanded that the criminals must be brought to justice.
