Hassan ridicules CPI(M) explanation

By Our Special Correspondent

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, APRIL 20. The KPCC(I) general secretary, Mr. M. M. Hassan, has ridiculed the CPI(M) for the explanation given by the party for the appearance of a column on caste in the membership renewal forms distributed by it.

In a statement here today, he pointed out that the explanation was that it was included by mistake in the forms distributed in Ernakulam district, that it would be probed and that action would be taken against those responsible for it. It showed that the party leadership was going to resort to escapism by evading its responsibility and making some persons scape goats. He described as deliberate the silence being maintained by the party on the distribution of the same forms in Alappuzha and Thrissur districts.

The Congress(I) leader said the people who were aware of the style of functioning of the CPI(M) knew that nobody could include a column on caste without the party's decision. He wondered whether it was part of a move to end its struggle against caste and religion and exploit those feelings for the growth of the party.
