THRISSUR: : Revisionists have hijacked the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the expelled CPI(M) leader Berlin Kunjananthan Nair has alleged. Addressing a meeting here on Tuesday to release his autobiography `Polichezhuthu,' Mr. Kunjananthan Nair said the revisionists were Trojan horses that would destroy the AKG Centre from inside. "The party and its leaders have assets valued at Rs. 8,000 crores or more. What the Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram, found out (Rs.4,000 crores) is a conservative estimate. Communist leaders act like businessmen and have even links with the mafia. Why should the Communist Party behave like a business group when it should work for the welfare of the downtrodden?" he asked. He wondered why he was expelled from the CPI(M). "I was taken into the party by P. Krishna Pillai in the 1930s. Did they expel me because I spoke the truth, presented unpleasant facts?" Mr. Kunjananthan Nair said he got his autobiography released in Thrissur because he faced opposition and non-cooperation in Kannur and Kozhikode. Writer M. N. Vijayan released the book. Writer Sara Joseph received the first copy. Prof. Vijayan said that the voices of the expelled activists could not be stilled. "They will eventually rise to be a formidable force. At the end of long silence, there will be light. And, like the sound of crickets in darkness, there will be voices that question complacence."
