Hindu nationalist organisations to hold mass agitation today against Bajrang Dal member Kairi’s heinous killing

Shambhu Kairi, a 16 year old member of Bajrang Dal was brutally killed at Karimganj’s Lowairpoa by a miscreant named Selim Uddin with “Dao” as he was on his way to home after attending a workshop of Bajrang Dal. After the incident tension arose in Karimganj district. Hundreds of Bajrang Dal workers hit the streets protesting against the brutal murder of Kairi. Meanwhile, the killer Selim Uddin has been arrested by the Police although Bajrang Dal has maintained that the incident should be investigated thoroughly.

Yesterday, Viswa Hindu Parishad held a press conference in Silchar and said that the brutal murder of Kairi is not an isolated incident but a part of Jihadi project all over India. Speaking to reporters Viswa Hindu Parishad’s Pranta Saha Seva Pramukh Gopal Bhattacharjee said, “Many members of Bajrang Dal have been systematically killed by the Jihadis in different parts of India, in the same way Shambhu Kairi was killed in Assam’s Karimganj. We suspect that PFI might be involved behind the incident. Though the organisation has been banned by the government yet their members are still working from underground. The incident occured at 7:30 pm in a populated place which shows how much courage they have gathered. We appeal to the government for an NIA investigation into the incident. We have full faith in the administration and law but there are specialised branches which deal with crimes and we want them to investigate this heinous murder.”

Sensing a bigger conspiracy behind the murder, Viswa Hindu Parishad’s South East President Shantanu Nayak told reporters, “We have seen that such similar incidents have occured previously too in other states of India. Hindus have been targetted throughout India by Jihadis. Bajrang Dal is an important youth wing of Viswa Hindu Parishad. Kairi was murdered while returning back from a three day long workshop of Bajrang Dal and we suspect a huge conspiracy behind this killing. In Uttar Pradesh, Jihadis gave the slogan “Saar Taan Se Juda” (severing the head from the body) after killing a person in a similar fashion. Even in Kairi’s case too it looks like the murderer was well trained to execute the killing. The murderer attempted to behead Kairi while killing him brutally. Hence we urge the administration and police to not pursue this case as an isolated murder incident but consider it as a part of nationwide conspiracy hatched by Jihadi organisations in India. The Jihadis have tried to send a message to the Hindu community and specifically Bajrang Dal that they will be ruthlessly killed if they dare to hold workshops and involve themselves in nationalist activities. It should be thoroughly investigated if Selim has Jihadi links.”

Announcing their mass agitation programme Viswa Hindu Parishad’s Secretary Swapan Suklabaidya said yesterday, “ISI and Al-Qaeda are trying to spread their web in entire India so that the Hindu Nationalist organisations can’t establish themselves. Tomorow in 6 districts of Assam including Barak Valley, all Hindu Nationalist organisations will hold mass agitation against Jihadi forces. The aim is to awaken the Hindu community so that they can defend themselves against Jihadis. Our counterparts in Lower Assam and Upper Assam have also agreed to hold mass agitation tommorow.”
