RSS has initiated legal action against Kerala Finance Minister TM Thomas Isaac for stating that RSS killed Mahatma Gandhi.
Isaac wondered whether it suits political ethics if Congress-led UDF candidate seeks the support of RSS which killed Mahatma Gandhi. RSS Kollam Mahanagar Sanghchalak R Goapalakrishnan has sent a legal notice to Isaac and KJ Thomas and P Rajeeve, printer/publisher and editor of Deshabhimani respectively, which carried the report. Deshabhimani is the mouthpiece of CPI(M).
Simultaneously R. Gopalakrishnan has filed the complaint before the district collector also who is also the district returning officer. The complaint reads: “Several court verdicts and commission reports have exonerated RSS from this crime. They all are available in public domain. Whoever have told this utter lie in the past had saved their skin by apologising for their error. Isaac knows it. Still he propagates the lie for misguiding the voters.
The notice asked the minister and the newspaper to carry an apology for the erroneous statemenet on the front page of the paper within seven days. Otherwise RSS will go ahead with the civil and criminal actions against them.
