The row over former Minister Saji Cherian's allegedly "anti-Constitution" remarks that compelled his resignation last week appears to have acquired a new political dimension in Kerala.
On Monday, Deshabhimani, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] mouthpiece, carried a photograph showing Leader of the Opposition V. D. Satheesan attending a function marking the release of a book authored by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue P. Parameswaran.
The event was in April 2013 in Thrissur. The photograph showed Mr. Satheesan on the stage and against the backdrop of a portrait of Swami Vivekananda.
