Kerala High Court lambasts promotion of VS Achuthanandan's son
It's strange that a clerk got a promotion because of his political influence, and now he is holding the charge of such a prestigious institution (IHRD) as Director, observed Justice D K Singh while considering a case in connection with the appointment of V A Arun Kumar. The petition was filed by Vinu Thomas, Dean (Academic) of APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, Thiruvananthapuram, who had earlier served as the principal of Model Engineering College, Thrikkakara.
The court also directed the stakeholders to permit Vinu Thomas to take digital copy of relevant pages so that he can respond to a memo issued for alleged irregularities in the purchase of items when he was principal of the engineering college. The contrary would be denial of natural justice, the court said.

VS Achuthanandan's politics was not poetry, but provocative prose
Velikkakathu Sankaran Achuthanandan, alias V S Achuthanandan, or better VS, was a communist who did not belong to the selfie culture. Instead he chose to look at the eyes, faces and needs of those around him. He was a communist at a time when many of his colleagues were becoming consumerists. One might disagree with the tactics and the strategies he had adopted in pursuing his goals, but nobody could challenge his clean political image and sincerity towards the issues and causes he had espoused. Achuthanandan was a leader who carried with him his own notion of communism, a notion based on his own personal experiences. He never imagined things, but saw through them; never talked merely about things, but their meaning; never spoke in the language of the market, but that of life; never spoke like a book, but with conviction. Like Humpty Dumpty in Alice in Wonderland, when he used a word, he meant what he chose to mean, neither less nor more. This was clear from the way in which he practised the art of politics, intervening on issues which touched the quotidian concerns of the people, whether corruption, atrocities against women, environmental issues, communalism, or nuclear and tribal questions.

V S Achuthanandan in company of communist legends
ALAPPUZHA: Onward to a final resting place, to be in the company of martyrs and his comrades. After a six-year interval, former Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan, for one last time, returned to the very land that once reverberated with revolutionary slogans and heart-wrenching tales of the Punnapra-Vayalar uprising. A founding leader of the CPM, VS, who breathed his last on Monday, was cremated with full state honours, including a full gun salute, at Martyrs' Column at Valiyachudukadu in Alappuzha on Wednesday. His son V A Arun Kumar lit the funeral pyre around 9.10pm, a good six hours after the scheduled time. It was here in 2019 that VS had his final outing with the masses, the last time he addressed legions of adoring fans. Abiding by a long-held practice, he had come to attend the anniversary of the 1946 Punnapra-Vayalar uprising, when he suffered a stroke that left him incapacitated. On Wednesday, he returned once again, accompanied by thousands who thronged the place from across the state, giving scant regard to the heavy rain, to catch one final glimpse of their beloved leader.

Leader of the masses comes home one last time
Kottayam: The final journey of V S Achuthanandan reached his birthplace, Punnapra, Alappuzha, on Wednesday — a return to the land where his political life first took root, where he organized historic struggles for working class communties and where he emerged as one of the leaders of the Punnapra-Vayalar uprising. His mortal remains arrived at the Velikkakath House around 12.15 noon, more than 22 hours after leaving the state capital and well past the initially scheduled arrival time of 10pm on Tuesday. Ministers Saji Cherian and P Prasad received the funeral procession upon its arrival. Despite steady rain, thousands of mourners gathered from early morning to pay their final respects to the departed leader. Long queues formed outside the house from 6am as people from across the state waited patiently. The mortal remains were first taken inside for relatives to pay homage before being brought out for public viewing. A Suresh, former personal assistant to V S, recalled how the veteran leader made it a point to visit this house twice every year. "He never missed being here for Onam, when he had the traditional sadhya and for the Punnapra-Vayalar anniversary in Oct," Suresh said. "Once here, V S would transform into a karanavar — the family patriarch. A lot of visitors used to flock in, including neighbours, old friends and relatives. " The house, he added, is more than a family home — it stands as a symbol and memorial of the Punnapra-Vayalar struggle. V S last visited in 2019 before failing health halted his travels. Earlier in the day, the funeral procession entered Alappuzha district after 7am. Along the way, hundreds of people — men, women, and children — lined the roadsides to pay tribute. The route passed through historically significant locations, evoking memories of a glorious past tied to the departed leader. Around 7.15am, it passed by in front of the KPAC headquarters in Kayamkulam — the iconic theatre movement that staged the play Ningal Enne Communist Aakki (You Made Me a Communist), a milestone in Kerala's political history. A large crowd had gathered there, cutting across party lines, to honour the departed leader. In Harippad, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala joined the crowd paying homage. The procession continued through Ambalappuzha, where V S first contested elections, with paddy farmers and fisherfolk gathering in large numbers. It also passed the symbolic Thottappally bridge, a symbol of Kuttanad farmers' struggles that V S championed. Among those who paid their respects at the house were ministers R Bindu, K Krishnankutty, Maharashtra governor P Radhakrishnan, N K Premachandran MP, MLAs M V Govindan, H Salam, M S Arun Kumar, Mathew T Thomas, Mohammed Muhasin, P K Kunjalikutty, CPM general secretary M A Baby, senior CPM leader G Sudhakaran, Muslim League leader Panakad Sadikali Shihab Thangal, writer Benyamin, former MP MM Arif, former MLAs C K Sadasivan and K K Shaju. At 2.40pm, the body was placed in a KSRTC bus for the journey to the CPM district committee office.
