Says untimely intervention by leader only helped in losing credit party earned after nuns' arrest
STATE secretary M V Govindan is facing criticism from within the CPM leadership for his remarks against Thalassery Archbishop Mar Joseph Pamplany. Govindan had accused Bishop Pamplany of opportunism, and praising Union Home Minister Amit Shah after the two arrested nuns were granted bail in Chhattisgarh. The CPM secretary reportedly termed the Archbishop as 'someone who is very opportunist'. The Syro Malabar Church retaliated in strong words and asked him not to speak like Govindachamy, a life sentence convict.
Sources in the CPM told TNIE that Govindan faced criticism in the party forum for his unwanted remark. Leaders are of the opinion that Govindan's intervention was untimely as it only helped lose the credit it earned through the party's intervention after the arrest of the nuns.

The Many Shades Of Patriotism
OME years ago, I was briefly in the Netherlands. The taxi from the airport was a faded green Mercedes. The driver, in a suit and skull cap, was a burly man with a white, flowing beard. He turned out to be a Pakistani and hummed a Dilip Kumar-Vyjayanthimala song: \"Teri husn ki kya tareef karun.\" He said he was happy—happier than he had ever been in Pakistan.
