IT is precisely to target the CPI(M) that its leaders were deliberately made accused in these cases as part of the wanton political plot of the ruling political leadership in the state. Capitalising on fortuitous incidents, the UDF-media nexus launched a vigorous campaign to destabilse the CPI(M). Ridiculously, the same media is attempting to portray the UDF leadership as an icon of integrity and virtue. In order to avoid arresting the former UDF minister who was convicted by the Supreme Court for corruption, the UDF leadership had propagated that he was seriously ill and subsequently got him admitted in a five star private hospital. The UDF governments blatant bias that protected its minister P K Kunhalikkutty through a special investigation and its reluctance to file charges against K Sudhakaran MP and P K Basheer MLA were never interrogated in the media trial. Rather the media deceitfully blacked out these pertinent questions and subtly projected that the law proceeds in its own direction. When the law moves according to the vindictive direction set by the UDF leadership, the media cleverly covers it up under the rhetoric of equality before law and equal protection of law.
