As clashes erupted between Communists and Islamists in Tanur of Malappuram district in Kerala on Thursday (24 October) night, a Muslim League worker was hacked to death, reports Organiser.
Deceased victim, 36-years-old M Ishaq was returning from a local mosque after offering his prayers when he was chased by alleged Communist Party of India - Marxist (CPI-M) hoodlums and attacked. Ishaq was thereafter taken to a hospital where he succumbed to the virulent injuries.
The Muslim League has since raised its demand for probe against a senior leader of the CPI-M, P Jayarajan in the murder. It should be noted here that Jayarajan is an accused in several murder cases. Raising the demand for a murder probe against him, the Muslim League has now called for a shutdown in Malappuram.
The violence was an outcome of the unending turf war between the regional heavyweight CPI-M and the Muslim League which is the second-largest partner of the Indian National Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF).
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
