UDF leaders say writer’s speech an indictment on CM Pinarayi, while CPM asserts it was against PM Modi
-
THE row ignited by M T Vasudevan Nair at the inaugural function of the Kerala Literature Festival continued to rage for the second day on Friday with people from different walks of life joining the issue.
While the UDF leaders and a section of writers asserted that MT was indirectly referring to, what they termed, the "autocratic" style of functioning of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, the CPM blamed the media for distorting the speech.
Terming MT's words "sharp", Leader of Opposition VD Satheesan said they should not fall on deaf ears. "The so-called impartial intellectuals should listen to his words," he said, and hoped that the speech will bring long-lasting changes in the society.
