Three months after the brutal murder of T P Chandrasekharan, K Madhavan, father-in-law of the slain RMP leader, has decided to call it a day from the CPM.
Seventy-four-year-old Madhavan, a member of the CPM Balussery area committee, revealed his decision to quit the CPM in an interview with the magazine, Samakalika Malayalam Varika.
“I have decided not to associate further with the CPM or its feeder organisations. Bitter experiences have prompted me to take this decision,” stated Madhavan in the interview.
He said that the stand adopted by the central leadership of the party disappointed him. “I wrote to general secretary Prakash Karat thrice, both in English and Malayalam. I also spoke to Prakash over the phone for about 15 minutes. I expected that he would issue at least a statement condemning the murder. But instead of that, he has justified those who are believed to have committed the crime,” says Madhavan. He also revealed that he had mentally supported TP’s rebel activities.
“I was sure that Chandrsekharan was walking on the right path, though I did not follow him. The CPM leaders thought that the movement initiated by Chandrasekharan can be wiped off once he is killed. But contrary to their beliefs, the RMP’s popularity has only increased,” the veteran said. Madhavan further stated that the investigation is progressing in the right direction.
