T P Chandrasekharan/murder/Onchiyam

Conspirators Chuckle Behind 
The Curtain

As the grieve over the tragic murder of expelled CPI (M) leader and the founder of Revolutionary Marxist Party based in Onchiyam in Kozhikode T P Chandrashekharan continues, the vicious campaign to malign CPI (M) is seems to be a predictable  absurd drama.  The timing of the murder, some sudden reactions, pre planned media rhetoric and obviously some dubious silences too proves that something devious and scheming handiwork behind the gruesome murder.

Though the campaign against CPI (M) strengthens, a section of media and political observers in Print and visual media as well as in the cyber space opine that it is unthinkable that the CPI (M) will commit such a mistake in the eve of Neyyattinkara by election where a party legislator contesting as a Congress candidate  after submitting his resignation. It is widely believed that the murder committed by the killers who hired by the Congress bosses in the state to influence the voters.

Soon after the murder, CPI (M) state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan condemned the murder of T P Chandrashekharan. CPI (M) Central Committee member and Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan went to Kozhikode and paid tribute to the deceased leader. But the physical attack on CPI (M) workers in Onchiyam area is still continuing. Taking this an opportunity anti CPI (M) forces has ransacked many offices of CPI (M) and houses of party workers.

These incidents draw the memories Hemant Basu, former forward bloc leader and colleague of Netaji Subhas Chandrabose. In the 1970’s Hemant Basu’s murder was created a big hullaballoo in West Bengal. The right wing forces and the mainstream media accused CPI (M) over this murder, but when t the truth unearthed, the Congress activists were put behind the bars. This indictment on CPI (M) caused a nationwide protest against the party.  Exactly same episode repeats in Kerala in the name of T P Chandrashekharan’s death.

As the days passes, the suspicion over the involvement of UDF leaders gradually gets visible. A group of hired criminals, has committed the heinous crime in the night of May 4. A car ambushed on Chandrashekharan who rides a motorbike and chopped him off and more than 50 wounds were found in his body. His face was even defaced by the perpetrators. When the news broke out an army of UDF leaders reached Kozhikode. Chief Minister Oommen Chandy had flown to Kozhikode cancelling the Chief Ministers Meeting on NCTC in New Delhi. Next turn was of a series of reaction like a chorus. Every UDF leader reacted in the same way accusing CPI (M) as per a pre planned script. The UDF leaders also accused that the CPI (M) leaders of Kannur worked behind this murder.

The media echoed this and contributed some ‘facts’ to stir the protest. The added that a Rafeeq a notorious criminal under suspicion, hails from Kannur, is a CPI (M) cadre and the Innova car hired by Rafeeq and his team was owned by Naveen Das a party sympathizer. With no delay these campaign back lashed on UDF. The stunning facts about Naveen Das’ family’s relation with Central Minister Vayalar Ravi revealed. The leaders clarified that Rafeeq has no connection with the party.

Recently a revelation of P Jayarajan, CPI (M) Kannur District Secretary made the UDF plank utterly defensive. Jayarajan accused that Government Chief Whip P C George had camped in Kannur and given quotation to the criminals. Jayarajan also reminded that George, who pulled the strings in the horse trade of CPI (M) MLA Selvaraj, had once said that there would be a new bomb is awaiting to blast before Neyyattinkara bypolls.
