Introduction: The party that used to pooh-pooh the mullahs and bishops is now bending backwards to appease the Muslims and Christians. The party's state meet at Malappuram in February saw the entire district being plastered with the pictures of Yasser Arafat to keep the Muslim community in good humour.

The media and government machinery in the state have been fully infiltrated by the CPI(M) cadre. Whether it is the Departments of Police or Social Welfare, it is the Marxists who call the shots in the state.

The hypocrisy and double standard of the CPI(M) were exposed in full when the Party leaders appeared before the press following the gruesome murder of Aswini Kumar, the RSS Bauddhik Pramukh at Iritty near Kannur. The CPI(M) leader Jayarajan held a press conference to justify the killing of Aswini!. The CPI(M) state conference at Malappuram threw to winds all norms of the civilized society when the delegates raised slogans in support of the party workers who killed Yuva Morcha leader Jayakrishnan at Kannur.

The murderers of Jayakrishnan have been sentenced to death and are awaiting the outcome of the appeal filed by them in the Kerala High Court. The sad part of the story is that Jayakrishnan, a school teacher, was murdered by the CPI(M) workers in the class room in front of his students. It was the evidence given by the students, which turned the case against the CPI(M) workers. A political outfit, which has scant regard for the law of the land, salut the murderers sentenced to death by the court!

The minority appeasement by the CPI(M) could very well be understood from the grim realities faced by the comrades. The Ezhavas and Thiyyas, main pillars of the party, are leaving the Marxist camp following the prosperity made by these communities. With the Hindu community members slowly getting awakened to the ground realities, the Marxists saw the writing on the wall. The party that used to pooh-pooh the mullahs and bishops is now bending backwards to appease the Muslims and Christians. The party's state meet at Malappuram in February saw the entire district being plastered with the pictures of Yasser Arafat to keep the Muslim community in good humour. Of late, the CPI(M) fields candidates depending on the caste which dominates the constituency concerned. During the 2004 Lok Sabha election, the party fielded Manoj Kurishinkal and Sebastian Paul belonging to the Latin Christian community from Ernakulam and Alappuzha. The Latin Catholic community is the deciding factor in both the districts. The reasoning given by Pinarayi Vijayan, the CPI(M) boss in Kerala, looked ludicrous. "We do not go by the religion to which the candidates belong. At Ernakulam and Alappuzha, we fielded candidates with more winning chances. And it is rather coincidental that both of them happened to be from the same religion," claimed Vijayan.

Sebastian Paul contested the Ernakulam seat as an independent. Vijayan had a ready made answer for that also. "There are many people who are fed up with the Congress and BJP. But many among them may find it very difficult to vote for the 'hammer and sickle', the CPI(M) symbol. It is for the convenience of such people that we field an independent candidate," explained the party secretary!

The main demand by the Muslim League and some of the Christian churches in the state for reservation in government service has been accepted by the CPI(M). The Church wants reservation for Dalits who got converted to Christianity. The Marxists readily accepted all the demands from the fundamentalists belonging to these communities.

The party villages in northern Kerala are the breeding ground for extremists and terrorists. The cadre in party villages do not allow any other political parties to function from these villages. Newspapers other than Deshabhimani, the CPI(M) mouthpiece, are not allowed in these party villages. The sad thing is that the CPI(M) is slowly falling into the control of terrorist organisations like NDF and Al-Ummah.

The CPI(M) leadership is under the notion that if the Hindu population in Kerala comes down quite drastically, they can reign supreme with the active support of the minorities. Tarun Gogoi, the Chief Minister of Assam, was warned the other day by one of the Muslim fundamentalist organisations that they would see to it that the Congress is voted out in the next election if their demand of citizenship for all illegal Bangladeshi immigrants is not met by the government. This newsitem was not carried by any of the Kerala newspapers since the CPI(M) does not want to hurt the sentiments of the minorities in the state.

With the active support of the Congress and the CPI(M), the evangelists are having a free run all over the state. If anyone questions the missionaries for hitting below the belt, he is labeled as a RSS terrorist. It is the season of minority appeasement in Kerala.
