Faced with mounting protests from the grassroots and middle-level leaders, the Kannur district committee of the CPI(M) on Tuesday decided to seek an explanation from <b>AP Abdullakkutty, young party MP from Kannur, for his statement extolling Gujarat Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Narendra Modi for the development model he had set in his State.</b>
CPI(M) Kannur district secretary on Tuesday issued the show-cause notice to Abdullakkutty had been creating problems for the party for the past several months with his pro-religious statements, speech condemning the hartal culture and participating in community Namaz. Presently, Abdullakkuutty was a member of the Mayyil area committee of the party in Kannur.
The notice seeking explanation for his statement extolling Modi, seen as a class enemy and personification of âright wing Hindu fascismâ by the party, was delivered to Abdullakkutty's secretary in his office as the MP was out of station. Abdullakkutty informed the media that he would give a reply to the notice after his return from New Delhi. Party leaders did not expect a total recantation of his statement on Modi in the explanation he was to give to the party. When the statement had become a controversy and when newsmen raised the issue, Abdullakkutty refused to correct it but said he was referring to the model set by Modi as far as the development was concerned.
However, even Marxist party leaders did not see the notice as part of a serious disciplinary action as the CPI(M) was in a Catch 22 situation in issue where it could not initiate action against Abdullakkutty as the party thought he was awaiting <span style='color:red'>any such actin to use it as an excuse to leave the CPI(M) and join the Indian Union Muslim League.</span>Â <!--emo&
