In one of his recent posts, the Kerala CM has accused Sangh Parivar to have promoted "Saffronization" on the island by painting coconut trees in saffron in the Union Territory governed via the administrator he claims to have links with BJP.
The leftist celebrities and pseudo-liberals as they're prominently called should wake up and smell the coffee, and realize that they're in this echo chamber of theirs which keeps repeating the same irrational argument when it comes to any issues.
The post is not seeking anyone's sympathy or support. I tried to write many times but did not write because I was scared. There may be some who find all this is a trivial issue. But I want to remind you that anyone can have this condition tomorrow. Moral police and their henchmen are lurking everywhere. Their supporters will sing the tune of humanity, but they will act exactly opposite and go down as fascists in the guise of democracy.
The administration has started continues work for the prosperity and bright future of all citizens, especially the fishermen community, women, and youth of this blessed union territory which has been left behind in the race for development from its brothers and sisters of the other Indian states and union territories. In such a situation, the people whose vested interests are hit by the administration are propagating misinformation campaigns against the administration. All citizens are requested to participate in this journey of development led by the administration.
BJP national vice president and Lakshadweep in charge A.P. Abdullakutty lash out at Communist–Congress–Muslim League politicians for misguiding people of India about the recent developments in Lakshadweep islands.
The whole social media campaign against these laws is one big irony. The administrator of Lakshadweep has not implemented any of these laws, he has put these laws in the public domain and has categorically asked for suggestions and feedback from the public at large. How’s the act of asking for feedback from the public even remotely undemocratic? In fact, it’s anything but that. The draft laws have been placed before the public is for them to review the laws and their clauses and to come back with constructive feedback and suggestions, this is exactly how a democracy is supposed to work.
It is not for the first time, India is witnessing protests around the question of a person’s identity. It is also not the first time Article.14 has been contested by the common people in streets, educational institutions or in the Courts alike. At the end of the day, it is everyone’s Constitution & everyone can take sides.This article would take you back to the events of 1990s that followed the approval of Mandal Commission(which introduced Reservation System) and compare how the present day anti-CAA protests are a reiteration of the same ideas based on which the implementation of Mandal Commission was opposed.
Recently, the Pinarayi government passed a bill approving the formation of Kerala Madrasa Teachers Welfare Fund Board with the intention to provide pension for the those madrassa tutors who have completed 60 years and have contributed towards the scheme for a period not less than 5 years.
It is this lack of prudence of this government that has lead the state to a grievous financial tension. This is yet again another irresponsible decision by the state government not considering the final benefit coming out of such an expenditure and if this outcome actually justifies the expenditure.
The Kerala State Government has effortlessly approved a huge project of free internet that will cost the state exchequer a whopping amount of Rs 1,548 crores while a project that is supposed to be the lifeline of millions in the state is gasping for air as it drowns in debt and administrative negligence.
