CPI(M) slams Congress over Thalassery riots row

Published by Parlour News

Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] State secretariat member M.V. Jayarajan on Sunday (March 1, 2026) accused the Congress of twisting the history of the 1970 Thalassery riots to “whitewash the RSS,” stating that the Justice Vithayathil Commission had clearly held the Jana Sangh and its affiliate, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), responsible. He was responding to a statement by United Democratic Front (UDF) leaders Sajeev Maroli and K.A. Latheef, who, during a press meet, asserted that U.K. Kunhiraman of Koothuparamba was not a victim of the Thalassery riots and described Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s recent speech at Parapram as “factually incorrect and a gross distortion of history.” Addressing the media in Kannur, he said the riots that erupted in Thalassery on December 28, 1970, took place when Congress leader K. Karunakaran held the Home portfolio. He alleged that Karunakaran had described the violence as a “political riot instigated by Marxists” after visiting the town, a claim Jayarajan called a “blatant lie” that Congress leaders are now reviving.
