'Letter by VS to CPM leaders a media creation'

Kasargod (Ker): CPI-M State Secretary Pinarayi Vijayan today described as a 'creation of the media' a letter reportedly written by Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan to the party central leadership, stating that he was not interested in continuing in the post.

“It is a creation of the media. The fake campaign has been spread with an aim at the coming Neyyattinkara by-poll. The Central leadership is not aware of any such letter," he said.

Achuthanandan had reportedly shot off a letter to the CPI-M leadership, saying he was not interested in continuing as leader of the Opposition "in the present situation."

The veteran leader's fresh salvo comes after his outburst last week, lashing out at Vijayan for dubbing Marxist rebels like recently murdered T P Chandrasekharan, as "betrayers and renegades".

Achuthanandan had said Vijayan's approach was as bad as the autocratic line adopted by late S A Dange on the eve of the split of the undivided CPI in 1964.

Earlier, inaugurating a rally from nearby Trikkarippur in protest against the recent communal clashes in the district, Vijayan alleged that concerted attacks were being carried out against CPI-M cadres and that the ruling United Democratic Front and some extremist elements were also joining it.

"There are attempts to blame CPI(M) for the murder of Revolutionary Marxist Party leader T P Chandrasekharan on May 4," Vijayan alleged.

Chandrasekharan, expelled from CPI(M) a few years back, was attacked and killed by unidentified assailants at Vallikkad near Vatakara in Kozhikode district on May 4.

Its pity and very dissapointing about the situation in which CPM in Kerala reached. Many are saying that that CPM will not have Cadres and people with them if there is no V.S in the party. It is very true. Now CPM official faction in kerala is using paid cadres to show their strength especially in Kannur.Its very true that a Kannur lobby is hijacking the party. They cleverly brought the CPM committees under their control. So decisions taken by V.S will get oppressed by using the majority commitee members.PB should act immediately to solve this crisis.Elect a new secretary acceptable by all. If not, they are committing a historical blunder again because people are not fools.. iIts no doubt that the aged and fearless man like V.S will get hearty support from people from all corners of life.No party in the country is spared by the people if they show inhuman attitude.
