Let him be the first to throw a stone…..

There are only saints and no sinners at Manjeri, Malappuram district to stone Rajmohan Unnithan, the general secretary of Congress in Kerala and senior AICC member. If the Judicial First Class Magistrate of Manjeri court was not active in discharging duties Unnithan might have been stoned down to death as there was none to utter the famous saying:"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at…. (NT John 8:7). One now fears to travel with his grown-up daughter if this is the condition elsewhere in this horror state.

All know that Unnithan is a firebrand leader and his outright remarks often irk his opponents. CPM State Secretary and the PDP Chairman are the latest targets of Unnithan for reasons known to all and hence Unnithan is the target of the duo . The Congress leaders too enjoy Unnithan’s channel discussions and rather envious to him for his lexis. And instead of enquiring the episode the State Congress is seen in a hurry for stringent action against Unnithan. The women leaders of the Congress and other parties started preaching sermons from the mountain against degradation of moral values. Outfits like DYFI which sees no lapse on the part of the government in denying jobs to educated youths were seen fast to depict Unnithan episode as a symbol of the moral erosion of the entire Congress party. Everything about ethical values is intact in ruling parties!

One hopes that with Unnithan’s manhandling by local people and subsequent tarnishing by his own men and the opponents, it would be all right in the state on matters relating flesh trade. The State of Kerala will hereafter witness only good governance by leaders of moral ideals!
