Threatening investigating officials is not CPI-M policy:VS
Kozhikode : Amid a case being registered against a CPI-M leader for allegedly intimidating an officer investigating RMP leader T P Chandrasekharan's murder, veteran marxist V S Achuthanandan today said threatening officials probing the case was not a policy of the party.

'It is not the policy of the party to threaten officials investigating the murder of Revolutionary Marxist Party leader Chandrasekharan,' Achuthanandan, opposition leader in the state assembly, told reporters here.

CPIM would only support the initiative of the UDF government to bring to book those behind the murder, he said.

The CPI(M) leadership in the state has been critical of the Special Investigation Team constituted to probe the murder.

Police had yesterday slapped a criminal case on CPI(M) State secretariat member Elamaram Kareem on the charge of
intimidating a police officer investigating the murder case.

Kareem during a speech at a rally organised in front of the Vatakara police station last saturday had allegedly threatened crime branch Deputy Superintendent of Police K V Santhoshkumar.

On the plea filed by CPI(M) Kozhikode district secretary T P Ramakrishnan in High Court seeking to initiate contempt of
court proceedings against media, Achuthanandan said 'filing cases against the media is not a correct step...' To a query on the reported disappearance of controversial Idukki District CPI(M) Secretary, M M Mani, after a case of murder was regsitered against him for stating that the party had eliminated its enemies durng the 1980s as per a list, he said '....you will have to enquire and bring to light.'

'Earlier, we had also gone underground as per CPI(M)'s decision to defy warrants of Congress and British rulers to support agitations of the people, workers and farmers.Some of you correspondents will be remembering that', he said.

'But, the present reason (Mani's absence), you will have to enquire and bring to light,' he said.

Asked about the June 2 assembly bypoll tothe Neyattinkara seat, he claimed the LDF candidate F Lawrence will win by a
huge margin. PTI TKK
