“The Organisation My Husband Believed In Stood With Us”, Lisha Ranjith, Widow Of Slain Swayamsewak & BJP Member Ranjith Sreenivasan Speaks Out
In a heartfelt revelation, Advocate Lisha Ranjjith, the widow of the late Ranjith Srinivasan, has expressed gratitude for the unwavering support her family has received from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) following her husband’s tragic murder.
As reported in Kerala Kaumudi, Lisha Ranjjith highlighted the pivotal role played by the organisation her husband was associated with, stating, “RSS is a courage for us. If anything happens to me tomorrow, they are sure to look after my children.”
Recounting the difficulties faced after her husband’s demise, Lisha shared that the RSS and BJP stood by them, providing support in various aspects of their lives. She emphasised that while relatives and neighbors remained distant during their challenging times, the organisation her husband believed in stood firmly with her and the children.
Lisha nostalgically reflected on the family’s once-grand celebrations of festivals like Onam and Vishu, which came to a halt with the untimely death of her husband. Despite the loss, she expressed appreciation for the RSS and BJP members who continued to visit and celebrate festive occasions with the family, ensuring that the void left by her husband’s absence was filled with warmth and companionship.
She said, “The organisation my husband believed in stood with us. We usually celebrated Onam and Vishu in a grand manner. We used to keep vishukani and used to make two payasams. With his demise, all our celebrations ended. He used to wake up his children on the Vishu day to show the vishukani and used to be in the front for everything. We made kanji and chammanthi on the first Vishu that came after his death. All the pracharaks came home that day and had food with us. There are some brothers like that. They visit us on all festive days. They had not allowed us to worry. People in the organisation and BJP used to buy sweets for my children. None of our relatives and neighbours had asked us whether we bought Onakodi for the children. They came with Onakodi for mother and children and leaves after a long time. They never used to talk about the case, they never reminded us about that. They crack jokes with the children.”
“The organisation gave us courage. No matter what happens to me tomorrow, they will not abandon my children,” declared Lisha, emphasising the enduring support provided by the RSS and BJP during challenging times.
She further revealed the profound impact the organization had on her family, recounting instances where members not only assisted with practical matters but also provided emotional sustenance. From celebrating her daughter’s achievements to arranging events like arangettam in the temple, the organisation proved to be a constant source of support for the grieving family.
Lisha also acknowledged the role of the police, who had been a constant presence in their lives for almost two years following the tragic incident. She spoke of their assistance in caring for her mother and their genuine concern for the family’s well-being.
In closing, Lisha Ranjjith expressed her commitment to holding her family together, expressing gratitude for the support that has allowed them to navigate the challenging aftermath of her husband’s murder. The narrative underscores the importance of community and organizational support in times of adversity, emphasising the enduring impact of the RSS and BJP in the lives of those affected by tragedy.
