Anthoor bares fissures in Kannur CPI(M)?

The purported rift in the Communist Party of India (Marxist) leadership in the district may be real or perceived. But the tremor of protests in the aftermath of the suicide of NRI investor Sajan Parayil here on June 18 has brought to the fore what can be construed as underlying fissures within the party administration.
At the centre of the debate whether or not the suicide of Sajan was linked with the alleged rift in the CPI(M) leadership in the district is senior CPI(M) leader P. Jayarajan, who was the party’s district secretary till March 11 when he was replaced by M.V. Jayarajan following his candidature for the Vadakara Lok Sabha constituency.
The allegation of Sajan’s family that he ended his life following the denial of permit for his multi-crore Partha Convention Centre at Bakkalam here by the Anthoor municipal authorities allegedly at the behest of municipal chairperson P.K. Shyamala, wife of party leader M.V. Govindan, was not attenuated by Mr. Jayarajan.
