Cong leader M.A John remembered on death anniversary
Veteran Congress leader and social critic M.A John was remembered on his first death anniversary yesterday .
John, who played a pivotal role in building up the modern Congress party in Kerala by infusing new blood in the early 1950s and 1960s, is credited with the introduction of leaders such as Union Defence Minister A.K. Antony in the party. His uncompromising stance on political morality and a Congress ideology based on socialism and secularism got him a fan following in the party, but many believe these very same qualities seemed to be his undoing in his political career.
