She leads a delegation to Nuh to meet the victim’s kin
Former Rajya Sabha MP and Communist Party of India (Marxist) Politburo member Brinda Karat on Wednesday strongly condemned the alleged attempts by certain forces to give communal spin to Asif murder case in Nuh and interfere with the course of law.
Ms. Karat, along with CPI leader Amarjeet Kaur, led a delegation to Nuh to meet the family of the deceased and also called upon the Deputy Commissioner demanding that communal harmony be upheld in the region.
Expressing condolence over the death of Asif, who was kidnapped and murdered on May 16, Ms. Karat said attempts were being made by certain forces to give communal spin to the incident and protect the accused and vitiate the atmosphere of the village and the area.
