Asks why UAPA isnt invoked against the killers

The State government owes an explanation on why the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) has not been invoked against the killers of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) worker K.V. Shyam Prasad and Student Federation of India (SFI) activist Abhimanyu, BJP national executive member P.K. Krishnadas has said.

Inaugurating the Collectorate march organised by the BJP on Tuesday against the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) and the Popular Front of India (PFI) and to demand the arrest of all the accused in the murder of the ABVP worker here in February, Mr. Krishnadas said the PFI and the SDPI were the Indian version of the terrorist organisation Islamic State.

Deliberate

Alleging that the State government’s decision not to invoke the UAPA in the two cases were deliberate, he said the State government should also explain why the investigations into the cases were not being handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The BJP leader also said there was a possibility of the CPI(M) being engaged in a deal, as its leaders and workers were accused of killing NDF (which later became PFI) activist Muhammed Fazal at Thalassery in 2006. The LDF had come to power with the support of the anti-national elements, he alleged.

The red-jihadi alliance would be dangerous to the nation, he added.
