THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister Saji Cherian says that MT Vasudevan Nair has the right to comment. Saji Cherian said that nothing should be controversial and G Sudhakaran's comment should be sought from him. He also opined that Chithra's reference need not be made into a controversy.

Senior CPM leader G Sudhakaran said that MT should not come to teach about struggle and governance. Sudhakaran made this clear during a speech at a public program held in Alappuzha. Some writers are showing off following MT. It is cowardly to follow MT’s words blindly. Saji Cherian has now come forward rejecting this statement.

'MT Vasudevan Nair is not showing off. There is no sincerity. Literary writers have shown cowardice by reacting as if MT is saying no matter how great he is. The Left has a historic stance on populist issues. Whether in the opposition or in the government, they will agitate to get their rights. Struggle and administration are said by EMS. Did everyone forget that? EMS said that governance alone will not solve people's problems. That is Marxism. Only those who have learned will understand. You have to read and learn.' - Sudhakaran said.
