Thiruvananthapuram, July 8 Days after CPI's Kerala state Secretary Binoy Viswam went hammer and tongs at the conduct of the SFI - the CPI-M's student wing, a CPI-M worker made a threatening post against him on social media.
Ranjish T.P. Kallachi, in his social media post which surfaced on Monday, asked Viswam "to behave" and not to take on the SFI.
"It's best that you stop attacking the SFI, if not, it will not be the SFI which will reciprocate. You should not forget that you became a minister and a legislator in the past because of the hard work of the CPI-M cadres. So stop taking cudgels with SFI," he wrote.
After the new academic year began last month, reports surfaced from several places of the SFI allegedly unleashing terror on campuses.
Viswan was the first Left leader from the ruling CPI-M-led Left Democratic Front to have come down heavily on the way the SFI is behaving.
He said the present generation SFI has deviated from the Left principles and if they do not mend their ways, the SFI will turn into a liability for the Left.
The CPI and Viswam in particular have not been happy with the conduct of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and their attacks peaked after the debacle the Left suffered in the Lok Sabha polls.
What has left the CPI-M fuming is the invite that came from the Congress-led UDF telling the CPI it’s time that it dumped the CPI-M and got back to the Congress-led political front which they were part of in the 1960s and 1970s.
