Remarks against D Raja: No one has expressed dissatisfaction, says Kanam Rajendran

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: State Secretary Kanam Rajendran has said that no one has expressed dissatisfaction with the remarks made by CPI National General Secretary D Raja. He said he would convey the sentiments of the party to the central leadership. He added that Binoy was tasked for this. Kanam Rajendran later said that what he explained was history.

Annie Raja, general secretary of the National Federation of Indian Women, had alleged that there is a suspicion of an RSS gang in the Kerala police. But party general secretary D Raja had come out in support of Annie Raja. Raja's response was that the failings of the police, whether in Uttar Pradesh or Kerala, will be openly spoken. But there was strong sentiment in the state CPI against this. Kanam Rajendran had come out against the General Secretary's statement against the decision of the National Executive.

Ismail faction of the CPI had alleged that Kanam Rajendran's statement weakens the National Secretary. It was in this context that Kanam made it clear that no one had expressed dissatisfaction with his statement.
