Govindan's one-week foreign tour with his family comes after paying condolences to the late General Secretary Sitaram Yechury. He will attend various events in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, including cultural meeting and family gathering of 'Navodaya', a pro-left expatriate organization, where he is the chief guest.
The visit has drawn comparisons to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's recent trip, which faced criticism due to its timing after Kodiyeri Balakrishnan's passing. However, the CPIM defended Govindan's trip, stating it followed the mourning period and was for a party event.
Govindan's visit coincides with internal party discussions on finding Yechury's successor and temporary General Secretary.
