Satheesan all praise for CPI leader G Sudhakaran

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A seminar, organised by the Congress state unit here on Wednesday to mark the centenary of the historic meeting between Mahatma Gandhi and Sree Narayana Guru, was noted for the presence of CPM leader G Sudhakaran and CPI leader C Divakaran. The two leaders, who were also ministers in the previous VS Achuthanandan-led government, have not been enjoying a cordial relationship with the leadership of their respective parties.

The event also saw Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan showering praises on the two leaders who were invited to speak at the seminar. Satheesan said Sudhakaran is remembered as a ‘fair-minded’ PWD minister in the state’s history. He also referred to Divakaran as an ‘elder brother’ who used to advise him in legislative matters. Satheesan also recalled that the UDF never had a chance to criticise both leaders in the Assembly.
