Need only nine month for interment after baptism.

Political relations do not run for long. The nuptial between CPM and Madani PDP ended in disgrace with the confession of LeT’s southern commandant Thadiyantavide Nazeer.

It was a wonderful moment for Kerala when the CPM formally baptised alleged terror leader Abdul Nasser Madani an associate in the Left legion. It was just nine months ago at an election convention in Attingal Lok Sabha constituency. The meeting was inaugurated by Pinarayi Vijayan. The process was completed with Pinarayi sharing the stage with Madani himself at the convention in Ponnani constituency. The transparency of Madani sitting on a wheel chair one foot higher than the chair of Pinarayi was an eye-catcher. Marxists had then said, they had identified Madani, he isa clear man and had nothing to hide. However, that clarity did not save Pinarayi and Madani and the Lok Sabha polls had come as a shot in the arm for both.

The new controversy surfaced with Nazeer’s disclosure about Sufia Madani’s role in the bus-torching case. Who said Indian women are fragile? They are able to torch buses and even trains. Several political parties came against Madani and the CPM. CPM is left with no option other than to bury the relation with Madani and hence the PB member Pande came openly against CPM-PDP relation. The tongues of Pinarayi and coterie shrunk to throat and the funeral ceremony of the CPM-PDP relation started. It took only nine months between baptism and committal.
