Patricide in CPM

Veteran leader V.S. Achuthanandan’s abrupt leaving of the venue of the CPI(M) State conference is sad. And for this he could not be blamed as such was the humiliation this connoisseur leader faced

In all the fourteen district meets of the CPM, the founder leader of the party was targeted by ill-advised leaders. This patricide continued and culminated at the State Conference. Achuthanandan has been at the receiving end of some intense harassment from the State leadership over the past few days. The low profile leader G Sudhakaran comparing Achuthanandan’s future to former Russian President Khrushchev’s exit is unwarranted. Tainted leaders like P Mohanan and others targeting founder leader is hateful.

One hopes that the comrades dining with ‘karimeen and Ampalappuzha palpayasam’ dishes would take wise decision to pacify the veteran, otherwise this would be their last dinner of the sort.
