CPM not to take action against EP for now in ‘autobiography’ row

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPM will not initiate disciplinary action against its senior leader and former LDF convener E P Jayarajan over the controversy related to his alleged autobiography ‘Kattan Chayayum Parippuvadayum,’ for the time being.

The state leadership is of the view that any kind of action against EP at this stage would affect the party’s prospects in the upcoming bypoll in Palakkad. “The party is not in a mood to respond to any controversies that would affect the CPM and the government,” a senior CPM leader told TNIE. “For the moment, we will go by what E P Jayarajan has told the media about the publication of his alleged autobiography. He has filed a case with the police. We are closely monitoring the developments,” he said.
