It seems no one can save Madani, Soofiya et al for out- of- the way activities

Chief Minister V.S.Achuthanandan has made it clear the CPM would not have any truck with ultra-acts-suspect PDP led by Adbul Nasser Madani. The party had association with PDP earlier, but that could have been avoided. The CPM would never have links with any organization which has extremist connotations.

CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan had also repeated the affirmations of the party’s central leadership, although he cannot completely ignore PDP. There was a rider in his comments about the electoral tactics in future. The tactics would be decided in accordance with the –then prevailing conditions.

Well, there should be a standing understanding that no party would hobnob with extremists, for ultra tactics would only land them in further troubles.
Justice V.R.Krishna Iyer, retired judge of the Supreme Court, has made it clear that he does not know anything about Madani being an extremist or not. He had championed the cause for his release simply on account of his incarceration in jail without findings.

The CPM has alleged that ultra Shafeek is a close relative of Union Minister E.Ahamed. Relationships cannot be undone, but the crucial issue is whether the kinship was misused. That can easily be found out by investigating agencies.

There can be a lot of justifications for the ultras, but even if the reasons for their hatred are addressed, they cannot and will not turn back, in the usual course. Because they are deeply embedded in the Satanic system which will not allow them to wriggle out.

The crown and glory of all creations should not perish on account of wanton acts of terrorism, as these would only worsen problems and not solve any.
