Thiruvananthapuram, 12 Oct: Senior BJP leader Prakash Javadekar on Wednesday condemned the \u2018human sacrifice\u2019 of two women reported in Kerala and strongly criticised the CPI (M)-led government, alleging that the crimes against women were on the rise in the state.
\nThe crime, reported in Pathanamthitta district of the state, was not just \u201canti-women\u201d but there was much more behind the scene, as a CPI(M) worker and a radical activist were involved in it, he alleged.
\nThe Marxist party government remained silent when crimes against women were on the rise in the state, Javadekar, also the Kerala Prabhari of the BJP, said.
\nTerming the act as \u2018barbaric\u2019 and \u2018inhuman,\u2019 he said, \u201cThe human sacrifice of two women, reported in Kerala, is the worst Stone Age crime\u2026 we condemn this act of human sacrifice and the worst crime against women.\u201d
\nSlamming the state government over the alleged increase in crimes against women, the former union minister said it promotes \u201cgoondaism and hooliganism\u201d and that was the real character of the Left government.
\nThe senior leader also sought to know why the \u201cso-called\u201d secular parties and groups in the state were silent on the inhuman crime.
\nHe urged the state government to take immediate legal action against the accused and ensure that they get exemplary punishment.
\nTwo women were allegedly sacrificed as part of black magic in a village in Pathanamthitta district and three people, including a couple were arrested in this connection.(PTI)
\nThe hapleess women, who had earned their daily bread selling lottery tickets on the streets here, were allegedly butchered by the accused to settle the financial issues of the couple and bring prosperity in their life, police said. (PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
