BJP leader Tarun Vijay has hit out at Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, saying he is expressing "fake concern" over the safety of Malayalees in violence-hit states Haryana and Punjab.

The journalist-turned-politician also said that Keralites remain most unsafe in their home state, especially those who question the policies of the CPM-led government.

After followers of self-styled godman and Dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim went on the rampage in Haryana and Punjab on Friday, CM Pinarayi wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting immediate action to ensure safety of life and property of all citizens. 

"Pinarayi, who showed fake concern on the safety of the people of Kerala in Haryana, must answer this question - has he been able to safeguard lives and dignity of the people of Kerala in Kerala? If Malayalees are most unsafe in any state in India, it is unfortunately Kerala," PTI quoted the former BJP MP as saying.

Vijay said Haryana is a safe haven for people from all states and countries heralding a new era of industrial progress, while Kerala has failed to attract any investment and people from other states. 

Citing examples, the BJP leader said, "A top Malayalam actress was abducted and molested in a car in Kochi, a Dalit lady principal was greeted with a "gift" of her grave by CPM hoodlums who opposed her discipline, 14 RSS workers have been killed in 13 months, four of them Dalits. 

"Are these signs of a safe Kerala for Keralites? Save Kerala citizens in Kerala first," Vijay alleged in a statement, adding "Under Pinarayi, Kerala has turned brutal to differing Malayalees, who are non-yielding and non-conformists."
