Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 6 (IBNS): Visiting the family of an RSS activist killed recently in Kerala, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday called the act as 'barbaric'.

Jaitley said the crime would have even "embarrassed a terrorist".

"The kinds of wounds inflicted on Rajesh would have even embarrassed the terrorists," Jaitley said.

Asking for immediate action, Jaitley said: "It is the responsibility of the state to ensure that perpetrators of these crimes are brought to book."

The RSS worker was hacked to death by a group of assailants. . While police say that there was personal enmity, the BJP alleged the hand of the  CPI(M), the reports said.

Jaitley said 'fairness and neutrality' by state police and political will by the state government is needed.

Jaitley said: "Houses of political workers and swayamsevaks have been attacked and the police in Kerala behaved like a silent spectator."
