CM Siddaramaiah said, ‘Everyone in India should fight against terrorism and communalism. Terrorism is a serious hurdle for the growth of nation. We see many people killed in the act of terrorism. Abubaker has condemned terrorist’s activities. All Muslims should unite and fight against terrorism and communalism. Despite the growth in education, terrorist’s activities are increasing. Terrorism spoils the peace of nation. We will handle terrorism without succumbing to anybody’s pressure. Our motto is to give equal opportunity and equality as per Indian constitution.’

In Kerala, posters, notices and bills are promoting extremism and terrorism which is a conspiracy to defame Islam and transparent investigation should be carried out.’
