PALAKKAD: N N Krishnadas, a member of the CPM state committee, lashed out at media seeking comments on the recent resignation of Abdul Shukur from the party. Krishnadas, visibly agitated, instructed journalists to leave the scene, stating, “You are walking like vultures. Don’t talk to me like you talk to everyone.”

The incident unfolded after Shukur, a member of the Palakkad Area Committee and district treasurer of the Palakkad Auto Taxi Union, resigned from the CPM, citing authoritarian behavior from district secretary Suresh Babu. In a statement, Shukur accused Babu of gross negligence within the party and expressed his frustration over being insulted during a meeting with fellow committee members. He declared that he could no longer maintain ties with the party after such treatment.

Krishnadas had arrived at Shukur’s residence in an attempt to persuade him to reconsider his resignation. However, the media’s inquiries prompted an irate response from Krishnadas, who emphasized the need for confidentiality regarding internal party matters.
