The family of the late CPI(M) stalwart V S Achuthanandan faces a dilemma over accepting the posthumous Padma Vibhushan awarded by the Centre. Firm on his lifelong political ideals, discussions continue amid party norms that dissuade members from accepting state-conferred awards.
Arun Kumar V A, Achuthanandan's son, communicated on Facebook, acknowledging the honor as a tribute to his father's impactful public life. Despite this recognition, Kumar reiterated the family's commitment to the values and decisions that his father upheld as a staunch Communist.
CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby and state secretary M V Govindan commented on the matter, emphasizing the late leader's adherence to party principles. While the family's decision remains uncertain, respect and gratitude for the public's affection for Achuthanandan resonate deeply.
