BJP and RSS killed National Conference workers, claims Firdous

National Conference MLA Shamima Firdous on Saturday alleged that BJP and RSS were involved in the killing of two of her party workers.

"I have no hesitation in saying that the BJP and RSS killed my workers. I have no doubt about it," Firdous, who represents Habba Kadal constituency in the state assembly, said at a press conference here.

On Friday, two National Conference party workers were killed while another was critically injured as militants opened fire, police said.

Municipal elections are due in the state from October 8. The National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party have boycotted the local body poll, leaving the BJP and the Congress in a direct contest.

The NC has nothing to do with the municipal election in the state, while the BJP has fielded its candidates, Firdous said.

The slain workers were associated with Firdous and one of them worked as her public relations officer.

"The governor must ensure that the killers of my innocent workers are exposed", she said.
