PATHANAMTHITTA: Former Aranmula MLA and leader K Sivadasan Nair said the Congress is a party that does not even take action against those who speak against the party. He was suspended from the party for his outburst against the leadership. This is the party raised with my blood also. Nair responded that even if his membership is cancelled, could not expel him from the Congress.

He asked as a senior activist if he had no freedom to speak about the Congress, then who would else have? Those who have the support of the workers should come to the party leadership. Organizational election is the only panacea. Sivadasan Nair also criticized that the new list reflects the interests of the leaders and not of the activists. He said that he would correct only if proved that he had violated discipline and responded now so that not to feel guilty in future.

He said he has no complaints about Satheesh Kochuparambil being selected for the Pathanamthitta DCC president post. He said though they say that elections were held after several rounds of consultations, it did not reflect the sentiments of the activists.

The party suspended K Sivadasan Nair and former KPCC general secretary K P Anil Kumar for commenting on the election of DCC presidents during a channel show.

Meantime, a poster appeared near the Pathanamthitta DCC office against the new president. P J Kurien and Anto Antony MP were criticized in the poster.
