Amid rumblings in the CPI(M) Kuttanad unit, the party has expelled three leaders, including two area committee members, for “anti-party activities”.
CPI(M) Kuttanad area committee members- A.S. Ajith and B.K. Kunjumon and former area committee member N.D. Udayan were ousted from the party after they “repeatedly skipped party meetings and programmes and indulged in anti-party activities,” said a statement issued by CPI (M) district secretary R. Nazar on Saturday.
The expelled leaders were among 222 CPI (M) members from Ramankary, Muttar, Thalavady, Kavalam and Veliyanad in Kuttanad who quit the party following factional feud and joined the Communist Party of India (CPI) recently. Sources said the CPI(M) had expelled three leaders as they were the ones who spearheaded the rebellion in the party in Kuttanad. However, action has not been taken against all those who took a stance against the party leadership.
