Speaking to reporters in Thiruvananthapuram, he said he had taken up the issue when Opposition Leader Oommen Chandy and KPCC president Ramesh Chennithala met him on Tuesday.

The nonagenarian leader had recently written to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, seeking her intervention to get Muraleedharan, a former KPCC President, re-admitted.

After his exit from Congress,Muraleedharan had joined NCP, but quit the party and has sought re-entry to the Congress. He also met party high command leaders in Delhi more than once and requested them to consider his plea.

Stating that he was not part of any group now, Karunakaran said he had asked both Chandy and Chennithala not to support any group in the party.

He termed as not true, Chennithala's comment that the Muraleedharan issue was not discussed at the meeting with him.
