Addressing a CPI(M) district committee meet at Kozhikode on Wednesday, he said North Korea was showcasing a better example in defending “imperialist” forces. The CPI(M) polit bureau member also said there was a general criticism that China’s fight against imperialist forces was not living up to the expectations of the people.
“North Korea has been adopting a tough anti-US stand. North Korea has successfully withstood the pressure exerted by the US,” Vijayan said. The chief minister’s statement came days after a flex board of the North Korean leader, brought out as part of a programme of CPI(M) in Idukki district, was removed by the party after it triggered a controversy.
The local leaders of the Left party later clarified that Kim’s photo was included by “mistake”. Kim, in his New Year’s Day address, has said North Korea’s nuclear weapons can reach anywhere in the US and threatened that he has a nuclear button on his desk.
