"There is a similarity between Gauri Lankesh's murder and that of Dabholkar, Kalburgi and Pansare. What I see is that the tools used are the same. There is a conspiracy of people -- a sort of hit gang that is working towards eliminating progressive voices. 

"I am also on so many hit lists. All these vested interests, people who are promoting a superstitious way of thinking, all go hand in hand with each other."

Narendra Nayak, president of the Federation of Indian Rationalist Association, an apex body of rationalist organisations that promote scientific approaches and rational thought and who worked closely with Kalburgi, Dhabolkar and Lankesh, speaks to Caravan magazine, here.
