Deploring the alleged attack on Congress party activists in Payyannur on Saturday (January 24, 2026) by CPI(M) workers, the Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan warned of intensifying the Congress’ agitation seeking accountability in the allegations raised by CPI(M) district committee member V. Kunhikrishnan regarding the ‘embezzlement’ of the ‘martyr fund’ of Dhanraj, his slain party activist.
On the alleged statement by an area secretary of the CPI (M) that his party activists would attack whoever took out such protest marches, Mr Satheesan said that this tendency to indulge in violence shows the ‘inimitable attitude’ of that party to criticism. Such continuing ‘goondaism’ shows the beginning of the end of the CPI(M), he said and pointed to that party’s district committee member fearing a T.P. Chandrasekharan-type death in the wake of his allegations regarding funds embezzlement.
