In a warning to 93-year-old Marxist veteran V S Achuthanandan for 'violating' party norms, the Communist Party of India-Marxist today asked him to abide by its organisational norms and discipline.

Talking to reporters after the three-day long party central committee meeting Thiruvananthapuram, CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury said the committee has approved the report of the Politburo Commission on Kerala issues.

It warned Achuthanandan about the violation of party norms pinpointed in the report and asked the veteran to abide by the party norms and discipline, he said.

Yechury said Achuthanandan would be an invitee for the party state committee and central committee.

"He can articulate his views in the state committee and not outside," Yechury said.


The Commission was appointed after Achuthanandan walked out of the CPI-M state conference held at Alappuzha in February, 2015 breaching party norms causing much embarrassment to the Left party known for its cadre structure.

He was at loggerheads with the state party leadership of that time led by present Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
