hi, the impression i get reading stories on lavalin deal is like kafka coming real. mystery remains mystery with no beginning and may be no end also- the kafkaseque.
story tellers in the media have this supreme ability to turn events into grotesque. while pinaryi vijayan who implemented the contract is charge-sheeted; the minister, g.karthikeyan who set up the contract is let free. why? is anybody sure about it? as many observers in the media have said, why the issues in the deal only surfaced only in 2005-06, immediate to mallapuram conference and close to the end of kerala march led by pinrayi vijayan. it is generally known that in party like cpm, no individual takes independent decision. party committe, fraction committee all are set-up to oversee the individual. what was the deal on the deal? how could the electricity minister, comparatively junior then, could go on implement without the consent of party supermos. as the mysteries never unbound itself, the question that surface is about political morality because it has some significance on cpm's national presence as clean party. the lavalin case may have also a bearing on the abaya case which has also caught public attention. church establishment will definitely take the cue from cpm in alleging cbi for conpiracy. but the morality question has one problem. it can be imposed on anyone. what if the inidvidual has not committed greivously anything wrong and if the cpm has true faith in the indvidual, why should they succumb to morality call? then one can only wish them that the faith will guide the communist party through all the eventualities. the people and the media braying for the party secretary's resignation need also think of the post-resignation alternatives. the one real allegations that has been doing rounds for some time was about com. secrteray's children's education. after all, it was about education. compared to sons and daughters muddling in day to day affairs of govt, party and getting undue benefits from the govt, is providing good education to children an issue at all? media and some segments of the public may of course have problem with the public persona of the comrade.secretary. the media and public also know that public persona is not static. it can change in the way it wanted to be as recent history is full of transforming personas. and the media is cursed with regretting in future for issues they dedicate themselves for. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
