Weeks after controversy erupted over Kim Jong Un’s photo in CPI(M) programme poster, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has come up with a statement praising North Korea.
What is more surprising is the fact that senior communist leader have cited North Korea has a better example of fight against imperialist forces than China.
Speaking at the CPI (M) district meet in Kozhikode, Pinarayi Vijayan said that China’s fight against imperialist forces are not living up to the expectations of the people.
“Now it can be seen that a better approach has developed in this regard. North Korea has been following tough anti-USA stand. North Korea have successfully defended the pressure imposed by USA,” he added.
In Kottayam district meeting, it was the state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan’s turn to praise North Korea. At the function he said that North Korea has increased its military strength and nuclear ammunition for the existence of the country.
“America aims to destroy North Korea which is moving ahead with socialist ideology,” said Balakrishnan.
Last month local cadres of the party have put on display the flex of a party function with photos of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
After the poster stirred controversy the district leaders of the party asked the local cadres to remove flex. Speaking on the controversy Idukki district secretary then told India Today that the flex was made by some local workers of the party and Kim Jong Un’s photo was included by mistake.
This time around, two of the senior party leaders themselves have come up with statements supporting North Korea. These statements may trigger more heated debates in the days to come.
