CPI-M State Secretary Pinarayi Vijayan Saturday alleged Indian Union Muslim League was behind the killing of a DYFI leader in Kasargod during the state wide hartal called by CPI(M),protesting against the recent arrest of CPI(M) leader P Jayarajan in a murder case.

Speaking to reporters here,he charged the ruling United Democratic Front with targetting CPI(M) for attacks to divert the attention of the people,who are disgusted with the government.

To a query on the killing of DYFI Thekkanam unit President T Manoj,he said it was not necessary that one dies of deep cut injuries. There would be clarity once the post-mortem report comes out,he said.

Vijayan also attended the last rites of Manoj here. Former minister P K Sreemathy and P Karunakaran,MP,accompanied him.

Manoj was killed during the 12-hour hartal called by CPI(M) on Aug 2 to protest the arrest of Jayarajan on August 1 in connection with the murder of an IUML activist in February this year.
