The killings of innocent people and destruction of public property by Hindutva-inspired communal forces recently. A mob, now identified as members of Sangh Parivar organizations, attacked a Tamil Nadu public transport bus in Bangalore recently and burned down the vehicle that was carrying 26 passengers. Two passengers were killed and their bodies were charred beyond recognition. This attack was a part of conscious and systematic efforts of the religious fundamentalist forces to undermine the real issues concerning Sethusamudram Project and to make political capital by flaring up the emotions of the people and dividing them on religious and provincial lines. The Sethusamudram Project was introduced by the BJP while they were in power at the centre without considering the ecological and human problems.
