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.
