THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPM state secretariat is unhappy with the action of Kozhikode Mayor Beena Philip for participating in an event organised by Balagokulam, a Sangh Parivar organization. The state secretariat directed the district leadership of the party to take appropriate action in the incident. The state secretariat has assessed that the Mayor's participation in the Balagokulam program is against the party's approach and stance.
Earlier Kozhikode district secretary P Mohanan had issued a statement rejecting the Mayor. P Mohanan stated that the Mayor's stance in speaking at a venue organized by Balagokulam, a feeder organisation of RSS is not right and continued that her approach in this matter is completely contrary to the declared stance of the CPI(M). According to the statement, the action of the mayor is not acceptable to the CPM in any way and for that reason the party has decided to publicly reject the mayor's stand in this regard.
