CPI(M): campaign of lies against party

Thiruvananthapuram: The State secretariat of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has asked members, sympathisers and well-wishers of the party to reject the continuous campaign of lies being mounted against it with the derision that deserves.

In a statement here on Wednesday, the secretariat said the intensity of the campaign had increased because the party State conference was drawing near. Some of the reports being carried by a section of the media deliberately were a blatant travesty of truth. The report that party State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan attended a secret meeting in a house in Cherthala on November 26 was one such. He had not gone to Alappuzha either a day before or after that date. He had not even passed through the district. The motives of such reports were clear.

That the State secretariat members had opposed the Polit Bureau’s decision to restore the membership of four persons, including C.B.C. Warrier, but it did not work was another such report. The secretariat members knew very well that any decision taken by the Polit Bureau was to strengthen the party and protect its unity. The four persons concerned had been suspended from the membership of the Alappuzha and Thrissur district committees for one year. The State committee had given its approval for it. But they appealed to the Polit Bureau, which examined their case and took a decision. It too approved the action taken against them. As they had by then undergone six months of the suspension, the Polit Bureau decided to waive the remaining period and restore their memberships. There was nothing unnatural in it. The secretariat felt that the exaggeration of such developments was to create confusion among the workers. The enemies of the party would intensify the campaign once the party meetings concluded successfully.
