In 1962,as the Indian army fought Chinese aggression in the Himalayas,the undivided CPI supported China, putting ideology above nation.
Govt sent many CPI leaders in jail.
The communist leaders held a meeting in jail.
VS Achuthanandan was one of them.

People started calling them Chinese agents.
To refute the allegation, V S Achuthanandan presented the idea
of donating blood for the jawans,and contributing money from the sale of prison rations saved by inmates to the defence kitty of the government.

O J Joseph,convener of the party’s jail committee and a latter-day member of the Rajya Sabha,rejected the proposal.
In the next meeting,Achuthanandan tried again and the meeting ended in a scuffle among the two groups led by Achuthanandan and Joseph.

As the row escalated, Achuthanandan dropped the plan to donate blood to the army.
In October 1965,after being released from jail,a party worker filed a formal complaint with the leadership about Achuthanandan’s 'anti-party activities'.

A probe panel was formed,which found Achuthanandan guilty. It said
that Achuthanandan’s approach was 'anti-communist' and his move amounted to helping the government. Hence,that action was 'anti-party'.

Communists all over the world, in every country support their own country. Indian communists ALWAYS stand against their own country and support the enemy.
In fact they support Pakistan also which banned Communist party way back in 1954.
