V.S. Achuthanandan sees bid to diminish achievements of the LDF Government.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan said here on Thursday that the disciplinary action taken by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) against party leaders had raised concern among the cadre. The party Polit Bureau will discuss the issue at its meeting in New Delhi on May 25 and 26. Replying to questions at a press conference, the Chief Minister said the Polit Bureau had received complaints from party leaders on the action taken against leaders in Thrissur and other places recently. As a Polit Bureau member, he had also received copies of the complaints. On the criticism made by CPI(M) State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan that Mr. Achuthanandan, as a Polit Bureau member, should have shown the courtesy not to put another Polit Bureau member (Mr. Vijayan) under suspicion, the Chief Minister said the same principle applied to Mr. Vijayan too. He (Mr. Achuthanandan) was reasonably clear when he had said that those who had talked about the existence of a `media syndicate' were using the very `media syndicate' to leak the deliberations of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) State committee. The existence of a `media syndicate' had been alleged by a number of leaders in the past, and everyone had disowned responsibility when the issue of leaking the deliberations had been discussed at State committee meetings. He said the media were projecting that there was a fight between him and Mr. Vijayan so as to diminish the achievements of the LDF Government. "This will not succeed. It will not deflect the attention of the Government from the action being taken against land, forest, sandalwood and `kayal' mafia." The Chief Minister said poor settlers would not be evicted for want of documents on their holdings under the eviction drive launched by the Government at Munnar and elsewhere. The Government had directed Collectors and tahsildars to evict encroachers. However, some Collectors and tahsildars who had been inactive till now had suddenly become active and issued notices to hundreds of poor people in possession of five to ten cents of lands. This had given rise to many complaints. The Government directive was to evict the bigwigs who had encroached upon government land. Mr. Achuthanandan said there was no encroachment of land by the AKG Centre in Thiruvananthapuram. Both Mr. Achuthanandan and Mr. Vijayan left for Delhi by the same flight later in the day to attend the Polit Bureau meeting.
