No party bar on nuke plant visit: VS

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM  Opposition Leader V S Achuthanandan said that he was not stopped by his party from joining the anti-Koodankulam struggle in Tamil Nadu. Talking to reporters here on Sunday, he said the CPM did not ask him not to join the anti-Koodankulam struggle.“However, I am yet to take a decision on whether to go there or not,” he said.On the fifth-minister issue, VS said that the Cong-led UDF Govt has torpedoed the secular concept and people who are witnessing all these fights for positions will give them a befitting answer. “Instead of discussion on governance, the UDF partners are arguing for the ministerial berths. In the present situation, the UDF Government won’t survive many days,” he said.Last week, a day after the 20th CPM party congress, VS had announced that he would take part in the anti-nuclear struggle.
