"CPI (M) acting as international terrorist group in Kerala": LoP VD Satheesan

Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], May 20 (ANI): The leader of the opposition in the Kerala Assembly, VD Satheesan, said that Communist Party of India (Marxist) CPI (M) state secretary MV Govindan will inaugurate a memorial for its two workers killed in 2015 while making bombs.
Hitting out at the state government in Kerala, Satheesan said that the CPI (M) is acting as an international terrorist group in the state.
"The CPI (M) in Kerala has been acting as an international terrorist group. They will decide whom to kill, then they will arrange the place, the weapons, and the scene, and they will hire goons, criminals or party workers. They will commit the crime, and after committing the crime, the party will serve the culprits. And somebody will be sent to jail and they will protect the family of the person who is imprisoned," he said.
"This is terrorist group style and they are instructing their party workers to make bombs. In 2015, two of them were killed while making bombs. The next day, the CPIM's general secretary told the media that they didn't have any connection with this person or these incidents. They don't know the persons but after 3 years, they were on the list of Marty's exhibited in the party plenum session. Now they are constructing the Marquez Memorial Place," the LoP added.
Satheesan said that during the bomb blast that occurred in Panoor, Kannur,, in 2015, Govindan told the media that they don't have any connection with this incident and now they are constructing the memorial place for the people.
"During the election time in Panoor, the CPIM State Secretary, Govindan, told the media that they don't have any connection with this incident. Now, after some years, they will also construct a memorial for this martyr. The CPIM is acting like a terrorist group and they are instructing their workers to make bombs," he said.
Satheesan further alleged that the CPIM is making bombs to hurt the workers of the United Democratic Front.
"They don't have any ties or fights between the RSS and the BJP. Why are they making bombs? To throw on UDF workers. In the 2021 election, the next day of the polling, one UDF worker was killed in a bomb attack in Panoor. They planned to cause problems in the Vadakara Parliament election. The bomb exploded in their own hands," he said.
"For the last so many years, the CPIM in Kerala hasn't had any problems with the RSS. In the presence of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other CPIM leaders, they had a meeting with the RSS leaders in Kerala at the Mascot Hotel. I asked on the floor of the assembly in the presence of a spiritual person, Sree M . After a few months, the government granted 4 acres of government land to this middleman. The unholy nexus is between the Sangh Pariwar and CPIM in Kerala. They made bombs only to attack the UDF workers. They are promoting the criminal activity of making bombs, just like an industry," the LoP added. (ANI)
