Admit Chandrasekharan murder as an ‘irreparable mistake,’ K.K. Rema demands CPI(M)

MLA K.K. Rema has challenged the CPI(M) leadership to acknowledge the 2012 murder of T.P. Chandrasekharan as an 'irreparable mistake.' Her statement follows a party review meeting regarding organizational shortcomings.
Why it matters
The demand highlights ongoing political tensions and accountability debates surrounding historical political violence in Kerala.
Vadakara MLA K.K. Rema, wife of slain Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) leader T.P. Chandrasekharan, has asked the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] leadership whether it had the political honesty to acknowledge the RMP leader’s murder as an “irreparable mistake” committed by the party.
Her remarks came against the backdrop of the CPI(M)’s extended State committee meeting in Kozhikode, convened to review the party’s political and organisational shortcomings.
In a Facebook post on Sunday (September 13, 2026), Ms. Rema recalled Chandrasekharan’s opposition to, what she described as, the leadership’s “corruption and policy deviations” and his support for political struggles waged by leaders, including V.S. Achuthanandan. She alleged that the CPI(M) leaders had conspired to murder Chandrasekharan because of his uncompromising stand against the leadership’s mistakes.
