vIndinaz.com (23 Feb, 2010) — Chennai: Tamil Nadu CPM leader W.R. Varada Rajan whose body was identified on Monday had wrote to CPM national general secretary Praksh Karat, according to a letter accessed by the The Indian Express and the letter shed light on the mystery behind his expulsion from the party.
In a letter Varada Rajan sent to CPM general secretary Prakash Karat on December 19, just four days after receiving an enquiry report, he said “the findings of the enquiry cannot meet standards of justice and fairplay and need to be rejected.”
Facing allegations of misbehaving with a woman, believed to be in her forties, ‘WR’ as he was fondly called, denied the charges in the letter, explaining that the complaint was a fallout of the problems he faced in his own marital life.
“I assert that the allegations against me are frivolous, without any basis and not substantiated. The enquiry committee, which went into the complaints against me, had not followed a fair and transparent process. The disciplinary action proposed against me is uncalled for and unmerited. I place the facts and circumstances to vindicate my stand,” he said in the letter.
But the central committee that met in Kolkata in the first week of February ratified the decision to expel him from the central committee and state committee.
After returning to Chennai, WR sent an email on February 11 — the day he went missing — to those close to him from his oft-used id wrcpim@gmail.com: “I have exited. Please do not send mails on this id. Thanks. Varada Rajan WR.” Sources said he also left his phone at home, the Express report said.
