Ad war over Mullaperiyar dam

Following the footsteps of Tamil Nadu, Kerala has issued newspaper advertisements appealing to the people of both states to maintain peace and restraint over the Mullaperiyar dam dispute. And next will be a reality show along with a stunt sequence pairing Vaiko and P J Joseph!

What was happened all these times is the war of words between the thoughtless leaders of both the states which destroyed peace and harmony among people. The people of the two states acted as they are from two different nations. There were incidences of attacking Tamil labourers working on Kerala plantations and devotees going to the Sabarimala temple. Keralite-owned business establishments were damaged and students from Kerala studying in professional colleges were forced to return. A few money lending institutions were compelled to close and others were looted.

Unless the local politicians do not keep restraint it is very difficult for people of TN to comprehend Kerala’s new motto “Water for Tamil Nadu, Safety for Kerala.
