Why did you kill my father? Asks 12-Year-Old Daughter Of BJP Activist Killed By CPI-M Goons In Kerala
Vismaya holds up a placard in the video.
Vismaya, 12-year-old daughter of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activist Mullapram Ezhuthan Santhosh, who was murdered by goons from the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) in January, has posted a heart-wrenching video online, asking why her father was murdered.
In the video posted on YouTube, Vismaya holds up placards just as Gurmehar Kaur did, revealing the plight of the families of those whose loved ones have been slain in Kannur as a part of Left’s vendetta politics.
“My name is Vismaya. 12 year old. I am a class 8 student. I dream of becoming an IPS officer to serve my poor villagers. My father wanted to fulfil my dreams. His only mistake was he supported RSS and BJP. I see only darkness in my future. They murdered not just my dad but my dreams and future. I see only darkness, a complete darkness. I am not yet answered why they killed my father.” read the placards.
While Left-leaning political activists have stood besides Gurmehar Kaur, no one extended a hand of support for Vismaya. The Left-leaning student organisations, who often claim to be ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’, have chosen not to speak. The family has reportedly not received any help from the ruling establishment, which some believe is systematically cracking down on those supporting the right-wing using its cardre.
According to the Times of India, over 20 political workers belonging to the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, have been murdered in Kannur in just last eight months. In the most recent spate of killings, one BJP worker and four RSS members were hacked to death in Kozhikode district allegedly by CPI-M cadre. With a Communist government in power in the state, it is feared that the perpetrators of the latest crime and crimes before this, would go free.
