Tamil Nadu government should immediately form a Special Investigation Team to probe the recent killings of leaders of various Hindu outfits, Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy today said.

The issue is very serious and appears to be pre-meditated and pre-planned, since the miscreants were targeting people who have dedicated their lives to service, Swamy told reporters in response to a question on the murder of BJP state general secretary, V Ramesh at Salem last night.

"If Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa wants the law and order to be preserved and maintained, she should investigate the murder by a SIT," he said.
