Expressing grave concern over the violence and hate campaign unleashed by religious fundamentalists in the State, the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) executive committee that met here on Tuesday said the State Home department, police, and intelligence machinery had proved to be a total failure in containing the volatile situation.
A resolution adopted by the executive said the spate of targeted killings by the RSS and the SDPI in Alappuzha and Palakkad were aimed at creating communal strife.
The government, instead of crushing the criminal gangs behind the violence, had adopted a soft approach to fundamentalist elements with whom the LDF had entered into a political understanding in the last elections.
