Veteran CPI leader K.E. Ismail has criticised the nomination of Binoy Viswam as the party’s State secretary in the wake of the death of Kanam Rajendran.
Addressing the media here on Saturday, Mr. Ismail said that the situation did not warrant the hasty appointment of Mr. Viswam as the secretary. He said that the party did not have any inheritance policy, and that he suspected that the party violated the precedence by appointing Mr. Viswam.
However, Mr. Ismail said that he never had any poor opinion about Mr. Viswam. He said he had no doubt about Mr. Viswam’s efficiency and eligibility for the secretary’s post.
