KANNUR: There is no connection between Sivasankar and the party and some are trying to connect it, said CPM state secretary M V Govindan while talking to the media in Kannur. He said that he does not want to respond on Akash Thillenkeri issue.

‘Every time a murder is committed, the opposition uses it as a political weapon. This has been continuing for quite some time. We are not concerned about that. We don’t want to respond on the comments posted on social media against the party from their hiding places. The police will find them. Now it has become clearer that the CBI is a caged parrot and that is why opposed their probe. Sivasankar was arrested many times earlier. Let them arrest him, we don’t have any problem. We have no links with him. Some are trying to link us and that is politics,’ he said.
