Kerala State Committee Meet

The Kerala State Committee of CPI(M) which met with Com. M A Baby in chair unanimously arrived at the following decision.

IT is decided to expel M.Sathyaneshan, a State Committee member and former Thiruvananthapuram District Committee Secretary from the Party. This action is consequent to the Party being convinced on enquiry that he had been regularly receiving money for private purposes from liquor traders. Sathyanesan's behaviour was totally unbecoming of a party members. Hence the Party State Committee decided to give maximum punishment for this very serious lapse on his part.

In this connection, it was also decided to suspend the Parasalla Area Secretary Gouthaman from the Party for one year. The State Committee gave approval to the decision taken by the Thiruvananthapuram District Committee in this regard.

The State Committee condoled the demise of Prof.E K Narayanan and his wife Nalini, who died in a car accident in Thrissur and of Shanmukha who collapsed while returning after participating in the struggle at Kodungallur.

The State Committee expressed deep sorrow in the passing away of over 100 people in the Howrah-New Delhi Rajadhani Express accident. The State Committee demanded an enquiry to find out the cause of the tragedy and to adopt measures to ensure that such tragedies are not repeated.

Party General Secretary Com. Harkishan Singh Surjeet, P. B. Members Comrades Prakash Karat and S.Ramachandran Pillai participated in the State Committee meeting apart from the P.B. Members from Kerala.
