Tamils are being 'killed' as they don't toe RSS line: Rahul Gandhi
CHENNAI: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday claimed that Tamils are being killed as they refused to "bow" to the ideology of the RSS.
In an apparent reference to the anti-copper plant violence at Tuticorin yesterday in which 10 people were killed in police firing, Gandhi said he was with the Tamil people.
Violence continued for the second day today and a man was killed in police firing.
The Congress chief had in a tweet yesterday said that the gunning down of people is a "brutal example of state sponsored terrorism".
தமிழர்கள் படுகொலை செய்யப்படுகின்றனர், ஏனென்றால் அவர்கள் ஆர் எஸ்.எஸ் சித்தாந்தத்திற்கு அடிபணிய மறுக்கின்றனர். ஆர்.எஸ்.எஸ் மற்றும் மோடியின் தோட்டாக்களால் ஒருபோதும் தமிழ் மக்களின் உணர்வுகளை

நசுக்க முடியாது. தமிழ் சகோதர சகோதரிகளே , நாங்கள் உங்களுடன் இருக்கிறோம்.#SterliteProtest
"These citizens were murdered for protesting against injustice," he wrote.
The gunning down by the police of 9 people in the #SterliteProtest in Tamil Nadu, is a brutal example of state sponsored terrorism. These citizens were murdered for protesting against injustice. My thoughts & prayers are with the families of these martyrs and the injured.
