Kolkata: Condemning the Dadri lynching, the West Bengal wing of the RSS today said it wants strictest punishment for the culprits involved.
"We condemn the Dadri killing. We feel such incidents should not happen. We want the culprits involved in the incident should be given strictest punishment," RSS state secretary Jishnu Basu told a press conference.
Basu, however, had a dig at a section of the media for highlighting such type of incidents and keeping mum on incidents like when three Hindu dalits were beaten to death in Nadia district earlier this month On writers returning their awards, Basu said that the writers and activists who had expressed their opinion against growing intolerance, were against the change of guard at the Centre.
"I feel that those who are raising their voices against growing tolerance are not happy with the change of guard at the Centre," Basu said.
