CPI-M again differs on Madani

Thiruvananthapuram: The differences of opinion in the Communist Party of India-Marxist
(CPI-M) towards the jailed People's Democratic Party (PDP) chief
Abdul Nazir Madani surfaced yet again Saturday.
The official faction of the CPI-M led by party secretary Pinarayi
Vijayan has come out stating that he should be given justice,
while leader of opposition and former chief minister V.S.
Achuthanandan sees it as the responsibility of the court.
Madani was arrested Aug 17, 2010, in connection with the
conspiracy for the 2008 Bangalore bomb blast. He is currently
lodged in a Bangalore jail for the past 28 months.
CPI-M politburo member and former home minister Kodiyeri
Balakrishnan said that the state government should intervene in
getting justice to Madani.
"When Madani was in the Coimbatore jail, Achuthanandan, then
education minister went to prevail upon then Tamil Nadu chief
minister M. Karunanidhi for his justice. Likewise, now, the
present Kerala government should intervene," said Balakrishnan.
Achuthanandan, however took a different stand and remarked
that this is not an issue for either the Left Democratic Front (LDF)
or the United Democratic Front (UDF-the present ruling coalition
here).
"This is an issue for the court and they have to look into the
issue. You (the media) should not see this an issue of either the
LDF or the UDF," said Achuthanandan to reporters Saturday.
Incidentally the difference of opinion between Achuthanandan and
the official faction of the CPI-M has been there since Madani was
acquitted in 2007, after he was arrested in 1998 Coimbatore serial
bombings.
The official faction took a soft stand towards Madani and used
him for their election campaign in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, much
against the wishes of Achuthanandan.
