It is quite unfortunate to see that some unidentified
miscreants had set ablaze the memorial of P. Krishna Pilli, founder-leader of
the Communist movement in Kerala, in Alappuzha. It triggered a verbal fight
between Left and Congress leaders. The call for a dawn-to-dusk hartal in the
district on Friday is a pre-runner to possible agitations in the offing as
there are more statues of the leaders elsewhere in the state. Defacing the bust
of Krishna Pillai is a heinous act. It all happened on the heels of the attack on
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy at Kannur.
More interesting is verbal fight of the leaders from both
the fronts. While Pinarayi put the Kannur episode as the outcome of mutual
fight in the Congress party, KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala returned it in
the same coin by blaming factionalism within the CPM in the locality for the Kannarkatt
incident. What is needed is; more restrain from top brasses of both fronts.
