Don’t Save Or Avenge Anyone: Stalin Tells Fact Finding Team

Addressing the 38-member fact finding team that would visit all the 234 constituencies, Stalin urged them submit a detailed report to him by June 5 since he wanted to take appropriate follow up action by the end of June

Since each one of them would be on the field as his representative, they should serve as his eyes and ears and give no room for personal prejudices to mar their judgement and never meet anyone personally but only as a team of at least two persons, he said.

Encouraging the party workers to pour out their grief, every allegation they made, even if they were against the party president, should be noted down and included in the report that they would submit, he said.

The purpose of the investigation would be defeated if the members, without maintaining secrecy, were to tell others, particularly those in the same district, the secrets that the party workers would share with them during their meetings, he said.

Their reports should be like ‘scan reports’ revealing the facts as changes and reforms in the party would be carried out only on the basis of the investigations with a view to ensuring the continuity of the century old movement for another 100 years through the rectification of the fault lines and ‘changing ourselves,’ he said.

Conventional wisdom dictated that one should never tell lies to a physician treating them, he said, adding he was now in the same position now wanting to diagnose the disease and treat it appropriately, he said.

Prominent among the members of the fact-finding team are DMK MP Constantine Ravindran, former MLA Parantham and headquarters secretary Poochi Murugan, while the rest of them are local leaders and functionaries.

The meeting to guide the members was attended by party’s top honchos like Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin and organization secretary R S Bharathi.
