The media including
Malayala Manorama and Mathrubhoomi , different channels and UDF leaders have
been making such a systematic and vituperative
attempts at denigrating the clean image of Sri Pinari Vijayan, Secretary
of Kerala State Committee of CPI(M) as a politician and as one who had proved
his mettle as an able Minister since long. What they were performing all these years is nothing but
‘Pinarai Vadham Kathakali’ which is
divided by me into 4 parts as follows.
‘Part I – Allegation regarding owning a company at Singapore in wife’s name:
This part is in
regard to the allegation about Pinarai’s having started a company in the name
of his wife in Singapore and about his undertaking
several foreign tours for this purpose were raised by certain vested interests
and imposters. During the enquiry conducted by central agency these allegations
were proved to be a wet cracker.
Part
II – Allegation regarding higher studies of son
This part relates to
the slanderous propaganda regarding higher studies of Pinarai’s son. Unnecessary hue and cry regarding the expenses
incurred towards his son’s higher studies was raised by certain quarters which
received wide coverage in the media. In
the enquiry conducted by central agency it was found that he had remitted fees
for his son’s higher studies by availing
a loan from the bank.
Part III – Propaganda regarding ‘Sakhavinte
Kutil’ (Comrade’s Hut)
This part concerns the report circulated in the internet giving a
picture of a posh mansion under the caption ‘Sakhavinte Kutil’ (‘Comrade’s
Hut’) and alleging that it is owned by Pinarai which was seen by lakhs of Keralites
throughout the world which was reproduced
by the media like Malayala Manorama and Mathrubhoomi in Kerala. This had become
a hot news for them among others who celebrated it with a lot of enthusiasm
without waiting to ascertain the truth behind it which reminds me of a saying
in Malayalam thus goes ‘Taking the rope on hearing that bull has delivered’. Atleast some sections of the people would have been
misled by that news. On Pinarai’s complaint , Cyber Police who investigated the
matter had unraveled the mystery behind it. It was found that the posh mansion purported
to be made as that of Pinarai’s, originally belonged to an NRI working in Gulf
and it was the handiwork of a Keralite working in Gulf and 3 others employed in
Gulf helped him to circulate the same through internet. They had disclosed to the Cyber Police that it was done for the sake of fun.
After having done such a mean thing to denigrate the image of a leader like
Pinarai they had given such a lame excuse begging Pinarai’s
pardon to see that they are not thrown out of job on this score. Even after this,
the media including Malayala Manorama
had neither thought it appropriate to
seek pardon of the people of Kerala for giving
publicity to such a fake news to tarnish Pinarai’s image , nor have they felt any
pricking of conscious for the same .
4th & Final part – Lavlin case
This part begins when
Oommen Chandy, who was the Chief Minister orders a CBI probe against Pinarai in connection with Lavlin
case on the very same day when Election Commission
declared elections
to the Kerala Assembly. Prior to it, State
Vigilance Department
as also Central Income Tax Department had enquired into the allegations against Pinarai in detail but they
could not find even an iota of truth in it.
No sane person can attribute this to pro-Pinarai stand of these
departments . Similarly, Central Enforcement Department of Finance Department had
also made enquiry in India and abroad with regard to the said allegations which
also could not establish any wrong-doing on the part of Pinarai.
In the initial stage itself
when the demand for CBI enquiry into Lavlin case was
raised, CBI had informed the court that there is nothing for them to
investigate in it after going through various documents and files. Thus it was quite evident that Oommen Chandy
had ordered CBI enquiry against Pinarai with a view to detract public attention
from certain issues being faced by his Government at that time. It was nothing
but a politically motivated action.
The CBI had examined all the documents and papers in
Lavlin case and have come to the conclusion
that there is no evidence to prove that Pinarai has made any financial gain in
Lavlin case as alleged. It is
recollected that the papers like Malayala Manorama and Mathrubhoomi had engaged
scores of their Special Correspondents and researchers to cook up many stories
about Pinarai’s involvement in the case as per their imagination and had thus made systematic attempts for
months together at tarnishing his image To say the least, these people had
celebrated this issue to the hilt. They
had also called for the resignation of Pinarai
from the Secretaryship of CPI(M) . In the midst of the CBI enquiry, a person claiming
to be an eye witness to Pinarai
accepting bribe had also appeared one day and given a statement to that effect
to the media which made Malayala Manorama and other media to rejoice and to
come to the conclusion that Pinarai‘s political future is finished.as he will
be found guilty of corruption in Lavlin case. Sadly enough for them, their
dreams have not come true and the slanderous propaganda unleashed by them had fallen to the ground like a palace made
of cards.
From the very beginning when CBI enquiry was ordered till the final outcome
has come, at no time did Pinarai lose his mental balance or temper and kept his
cool faced the enquiry courageously telling that ‘let the truth come out’. ‘Pinarai Vadham Kathakali performed by the
media and vested interests were not able to cause even a slight dimming to his
image. After the final revelations of CBI exonerating him in Lavlin case, Pinarai
stands out like a bright Sun whose brightness has increased manifold.
Consequently, his detractors are very much upset on this score and are fretting
and fuming right now.
It is crystal clear
that the real motive behind the constant slandering of Pinarai and unleashing
attacks on him based on fake news as also branding him as a corrupt man in
Lavlin case is only one. That is to
destroy the number one party in Kerala viz., CPI(M).
Lastly, even after it
was proved that Pinarai has not made any financial gain from Lavlin issue, the
media including Malayala Manorama and Mathrubhoomi did not think it apt to seek
pardon from the people of Kerala for
performing ‘Pinarai Vadham Kathakali’ for years together on flimsy grounds . That is to say, they are
not ashamed of their diabolical acts. This reminds me of a saying in Malayalam
which thus goes “If a banyan tree sprouts on the bump of a shameless
person he will use its shadow to protect
himself from the Sun.”
