The name ’disgusting creature’ never fades from
the Marxist dialect. And that is evident
from the latest rhetoric of its leader M M Mani in Idukki. Mani, who was arrested for
making a controversial statement in the Anjeri Baby case, lambasted Chief
Minister Oommen Chandy, Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan and P T Thomas calling them
‘disgusting creatures’ when he returned to home district Idukki after a
temporal exile. Mani said the trio had trapped him in the case.
It was on October 13, 2007, in a speech Pinarayi referred Thamarassery Bishop Mar John Chittilappally as a
"disgusting creature". The abuse to the Bishop had come when he was
referring to the statement that Thiruvambady MLA Mathai Chacko had received the
church anointment of the sick despite his declared policy of atheism.
M M Mani, despite his dotage and exile, still remembers the words of his leader
Pinarayi. Pinarayi had made some patch up work with Catholic Church as a futile
attempt for a win in an election,
nevertheless what is in the kitty of Mani to reduce the repugnance among people
formed by his uttering, is unknown.
