KOCHI: Defying the edict of the
Congress high command, senior party leader and former union minister K V Thomas on Thursday said he would take part in a seminar being organised by
CPM as part of its ongoing party congress in Kannur, but made it clear that he would not quit the party and remain as a Congressman till his last breath.
An agitated Congress condemned the anti-party act of Thomas and said he will face stern action for violating the order of the high command.
The party brass had directed both Thomas and Shashi Tharoor not to attend CPM event considering the protest by Congress state unit which is at loggerheads with CPM government.
