New Delhi, Feb 18 (IANS) Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday condemned the murder of two Youth Congress activists in Kerala.
"The brutal murder of two members of our Youth Congress family in Kasargod, Kerala, is shocking. The Congress prty stands in solidarity with the families of these two young men and I send them my deepest condolences. We will not rest till the murderers are brought to justice," he tweeted.
