Fee for a view-that is it!

When CPM leaders in Kerala has sneakily withdrawn from ‘nokkukooli’(fee for a view) and said they were against it, the CPI has taken it as a prestige issue and its leader Kaanam Rajendran said they were not against ‘nookukooli’ According to him nookukooli is the right of the working class who were denied opportunity by mechanization. Kaanam was carrying on shoulders worn out cine actor Thilakan for quite long and when he realized there were no takers for Thilakan issue, Kanam shifted his target and become the new incarnation for nookukooli.

Kaanam should understand that they are not workers who demand nookukooli. Can he find a worker for climbing coconut tree or ploughing field? He can find only workers for party demonstrations and agitations. By asking nookukooli, common man is denied freedom to do their work themselves or to assign work to people of their own choice.
Nookukooli is in fact a virus and people like Kaanam should take decades to understand it.
