Berlin Kunhanandan meets VS

KANNUR: P.K. Kunhanandan Nair, the expelled CPI (M) ideologue, popularly known as 'Berlin Kunhanandan Nair', met leader of the opposition V S Achuthanandan, at the guest house here on Saturday.

After the meeting, Nair told mediapersons said it was a courtesy visit and they did not discuss politics.

Achuthanandan was in Kannur to attend a seminar, held as part of the coming All India CITU conference scheduled to be held here in the first week of April.

A controversy had broken out sometime back when Achuthanandan visited Nair at the latter's residence here. Nair, a Berlin based journalist for three decades, was expelled from CPI(M) sometime back for his forthright views, for 'violating' party discipline.
