Union minister Arun Jaitely today met family members of slain RSS functionary Rajesh, a victim of political violence in Kerala, at his house in Sreekaryam. During the visit, Jaitely spoke with the three-year old son of Rajesh and his aged parents. Jaitely's visit is widely seen as an attempt by the BJP to bring to national focus the issue of alleged increasing attacks on party cadres by the CPI-M. State BJP leaders, including president Kummanam Rajasekharan, accompanied the Union Finance minister. Addressing a meet after meeting Rajesh's kin, Jaitley condemned the dastardly attack and said that even an 'enemy of a country doesn't do this'. He further added that his sacrifice will inspire every party worker and urged all cadres to help the family in this tough time.
