Sanjith, a 27-year-old Hindu activist, was hacked to death on a bustling street of Palakkad district in India’s communist-ruled and jihadist-infested state, Kerala. It is strongly believed that Sanjith’s killers were members of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), a political offshoot of the Popular Front of India, an Islamic organization that is banned in the country.
The gruesome murder took place at around 9:30AM on November 15, when the victim was traveling on bicycle with his wife, unaware that his assailants were following them in a white car. The couple was struck by the car at Elappully and fell to the ground. Four attackers stepped out of the car; they dragged Sanjith’s wife away, but held her in a position that would force her to watch as the assailants pinned Sanjith down and stabbed him repeatedly and ferociously. Then they fled. Sanjith was rushed to the hospital, but was declared dead before arrival. He was stabbed over fifty times. Disturbing photos of the site of the incident show water in the potholes of the road turning red with Sanjith’s blood. Investigations are underway.
The wife of the victim, who stands as the prime eyewitness in this murder, recounts that she saw a white car parked, though she is unsure of its model or make. The scene of the crime was a busy street full of bystanders, vehicles, two-wheelers and a school bus crowded with children. She also added that the faces of the assailants were uncovered and that she would be able to identify them if they were placed in front of her. She said that she was aware that her husband’s life was in danger, and alleged that the threat to Sanjith was linked to the SDPI.
Accusing the SDPI of involvement in this brutal murder in broad daylight, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state chief K Surendran said, “SDPI is killing political rivals without provocation. These criminals have the backing of the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) and their police. If the government cannot control the SDPI, the BJP will be forced to marshal people for retaliation.”
This was not the first attack on Sanjith by Muslims in the state. This prominent Hindu activist, who is survived by his wife, a one-year-old daughter and an elderly mother, was one of the prime targets of this Islamic organization, which is also responsible for countless brutal killings of non-Muslims in the area. He also had a narrow escape from a murder plot planned by SDPI members last year. Four suspects, including Anwar Sadiq and Sabeer Ali, were caught in that attempted murder case while they were trying to flee to a neighboring state, Tamil Nadu.
Despite previously recorded attacks on the victim, the Communist government failed to safeguard him from the Islamic elements that are operating freely in the state. This shows how Communist leaders work with Muslims, abandoning their own civilians. A sense of unrest has gripped the area after the grisly murder, and the police are keeping a strict vigil.
Communists and Muslims have killed hundreds of Hindu activists from the BJP and the Rashtriya Sevak Sangh (RSS) in recent decades. This legacy of political violence was brought in Kerala by the Communist party after the Communists of West Bengal successfully employed this template of violence in their state and ruled for more than three decades. The Muslims are only taking this forward, and with greater impact and intensity.
22-year-old Rahul Nandu was brutally murdered in February this year in Kerala’s Alappuzha district. Eight SDPI members were arrested in connection with the murder, although Mansoor, the main accused, escaped. Rafeeq, a co-conspirator in the murder, was given an easy bail amount and was released. Four SDPI members were arrested from Kerala’s Wayanad for the murder of ABVP activist Shyam Prasad in the killing fields of Kannur in January 2018.
In 2016, the state Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, came down heavily on the SDPI, accusing it of training people to “commit murder” and citing it as a danger to the state. But Kerala’s administration has done little or nothing to contain the expansion of the Islamic organization, which has only grown and thrived in the past five years.

They have no fear of reprisal, no fear of punishment…they are emboldened to do whatever please them…and what pleases them is rape and murder…
They are worse than Cosa Nostra.
These mozlums sons of satan…yes, they have made themselves so…may feel bold now, and may not be punished by the Indian government, but they will face punishment from which they cannot escape.
The poor man, his wife, and evidently, he had at least one child. This is terrible to read about. But, Divine Justice will be rendered on these scum of the earth who murdered this man.

I sometimes wish that there was a way to carve out Kerala and Israel, attach Israel (minus its Arab population) to India (where Kerala is) and attach Kerala (minus its pro-Hindu population) to Jordan and Egypt. They’ll have a non-Arab but partly Communist, partly muslim neighbor, and Israel will have a neighbor who likes it – at least at a people to people level

I am sure these stories will not be published by BBC News, but Cows Lynchings will. Will Muslims ever understand that following the laws of the non-muslim host nation is a requirement that they cannot do away with?
