Vijayan had stated at a public meeting that the CPI(M) would become a 'fireball' if it was targeted for attack by the UDF and Congress. 'It was a call to the party activists to take law into their own hands,' he told reporters here.
Lashing out at Vijayan, he alleged the CPI-M leader behaving like an 'imbalanced' man, after the recent brutal and heinous murder of Revolutionary Marxist Party leader and rebel Marxist T P Chandrasekharan.
CPI(M) needs a "cleaning" process, he said, adding the leader of opposition V S Achuthanandan was carrying out the same.
Ramachandran also rejected allegations that he had intervened in the probe into Chandrasekharan's murder and said the investigation was moving in the right direction.
'The team of police officials inquiring the murder is very efficient and I am hopeful that they would bring to book the culprits and the conspirators behind the murder,' he said.
Those taken into custody in connection with the murder were either CPI(M) activists or have connections with the party, he alleged, adding 'the probe in the case was moving to the party leadership'.
