The Indian Opinion

Political killings quickly attract exaggerated claims that an attack proves a wider breakdown of law and order, or that the victim’s party affiliation itself explains the motive. Neither conclusion is supported by the available facts. The immediate priority is to identify the assailants, establish whether the attack was planned and protect local residents from retaliation. The arrest record and the police account of motive will be the first concrete test.
