Daughter Alleges CPM Workers Are Threatening to Kill Her Father
CPM workers allegedly threatened to kill her father for joining the BJP.
“I am going through emotional trauma. There has to be a solution to this,” said Ashwini, daughter of BJP’s recent Kerela joinee Sukumaran, in a Facebook video.
Ashwini, a class XI student, has appealed for help in a Facebook video after CPM workers allegedly threatened to kill her father for joining the BJP, reported The Indian Express.
According to the Indian Express report, the BJP has demanded security for Sukumaran and his family.
Naming the CPM workers who allegedly threatened Sukumaran, Ashwini also said, “To go to school, I have to walk to Karinthalam for 20 minutes. Now, my father is accompanying me. Yesterday, we had to take an alternative route because they were waiting for us.”
The local unit of CPM, however, has refuted the allegations, referring to them as a “political stunt” and a “bid to make news,” reported The Indian Express.
TK Ravi also told The Indian Express that he made an enquiry after seeing the video, however, no such threat has been made.
