Out of gear

Out of gear

The appointment of VC at Kannur University has become murkier with the current position of governor. Governor Arif Mohammad Khan has handed over the notice issued by the High Court of Kerala on the reappointment of the vice-chancellor to the state government.

The governor having already instructed his office to return the files relating to Kannur University to the government without taking a decision, it is the pro-chancellor's turn to take up the matter. The Pro Chancellor, the Minister of Higher Education. has already clarified that she has the right to write  letters to the Chancellor.

Moreover, the governor is correct in his position because the advocate general had said that he would not appear in the case for governor . There is therefore no other option for the governor than to relinquish the post of chancellor. The Governor is unable to appoint a private lawyer to attend his case in the High Court.

With all kinds of corrupt practices in the Ministry of Higher Education, the whole system got out of gear. Immediate maintenance is required for the system to function properly

Historic action

The central government introducing a bill to link voter id with Aadhaar is a historic incident. Most law and order issues related to polling stations can be solved with this movement

Election officers are often reluctant to take on electoral duties due to problems with identifying the voter with a voter card or other admit card. In a voting booth where only one party controls the situation, electoral identity cards have nothing to do with the voting system. 

Due to fear, election officials often take secure positions to avoid trouble where some party henchmen control the booth. When the Aadhar card is linked to the voter ID, the vote resides on the voter 's finger and the poll official has no problem conducting a free and fair poll

When Aadhaar teams up with voter ID to stop bogus and fraudulent votes, why

do Congress and other parties oppose it? The linking  of voter IDs and Aadhaar does not violate any fundamental rights. Instead   it stops false votes.

#Global #citizen harms Congress

Congressman Shashi Tharoor is always a strange man, whether he speaks for the Pinarayi government or shows up for a photo with the latest Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu. Tharoor was in the news for his opinions on the cattle class trip by Air India and also for his part in Cricket Sweat Equity.

This man with a good knowledge of the English language once confused former KPCC President Mullappally Ramachandran by writing a response in King's English. Mullappally was looking for Webster's dictionary to figure out the meaning of what Tharoor had written in the response.

A similar situation arises when the current president of the KPCC, K Sudhakaran, asks

Tharoor to explain his position on the praises of Pinarayi. To avoid the situation of asking for help from Webster's dictionary to understand Tharoor, Sudhakaran also asked him to meet in person.

In this regard, it is believed that Tharoor will unlikely go with majority Congress men, instead he will run with Pinarayi and contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha election from Thiruvananthapuram as an LDF independent.

Dialectical materialism?

The state government began to think about plans to resolve issues over appointments to universities after Governor Arif Mohammed Khan sharply criticized the political interventions.

Meanwhile, CPM and CPI leaders have criticized the governor when the rift between him and the state government continues. CPM Secretary of State Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said the governor's position on the nomination controversy was a mystery.

CPI State Secretary  Kanam Rajendran went one step further and harshly criticized the governor. He said the governor should not create a situation that would force the state to remove him from the post of chancellor.

Removal of the governor from a post without just cause is not permitted and can only be done by the President of India. There is no provision for the state government to remove the governor.

When the rulebook says like that, how can Kanam say the governor will be forcibly removed? When Governor  is ready to quit from Chancellor's post what is the need to push him out? Is it a part of dialectical materialism?

Dress code for teachers

Dress code for teachers

The circular from the Department of Higher Education stating that teachers may wear any type of decent and comfortable dress during work is welcome. The word "décent" should be underlined.

I say this because when a dirty Malayalam film hy name  'Premam' came out, there were a lot of teachers attending schools and colleges wearing black shirts and white dhotis. It was very bad because the teachers should not resort to childish practices.

Currently, there is no rule requiring female teachers to wear only the saree, but some schools and colleges insist it. This is quite unseemly because the churidar is more comfortable than the sari at work and when travelling. Male teachers who come to colleges wearing T-shirts without wearing innerwear are disgusting. Does anyone think the T-shirt and Bermuda are decent for teachers?

Although the uniform dress is unacceptable, pants (dhoti) and shirts for male teachers and sari or churidar for female teachers are the most appropriate. All other dresses , though comfortable, are unacceptable.

Allopathic fear

Allopathic #fear

Allopathy public health experts speaking out against the state government's decision to distribute Arsenicum Album 30c to students as a preventative drug against COVID-19 before schools reopen, is only natural. These people only have vaccines with a lifespan of 4 to 7 months. They have no proper explanation for why vaccinated people die from Covid.

The main concern of allopathic physicians is that the homeopathic medicine Arsenicum Album is a 17th century invented medicine and has no valid certification. It is quite foolish to ask such a question.

In Ayurveda, Chavanaprasam is a rejuvenating drug that has been used for years and if anyone is looking for a certificate for its authenticity, they are living in madman's paradise. Chavana or Agastya like sages never thought of keeping a certificate for their preparations. People use these drugs and feel a difference in their health before and after taking them.

Arsenicum Album 30 is not a medicine to treat Covid-19 but to prevent all types of viruses from attacking the human immune system. Since Covid-19 is a disease infected with a virus, it is natural to believe that Arsenicum Album 30 would  prevent it. There are also reports from several families where members who have taken Arsenicum Album 30c are not affected by Covid-19 while others who didn't take have been affected.

The fear of allopaths is natural. If Arsenicum Album 30 steals the show, the vaccine trade and associated allopathic treatment cease.

By this time, tens of thousands of people died from Covid19 and allopathists made huge profits with their vaccine and ventilator. Let people have the chance to have their choice for a while and see the effect of Arsenicum Album 30.

There is nothing wrong with asking the consent of parents of children before giving them Arsenicum Album 30

Vimukthi club

All educational institutions in Kerala will have Vimukthi clubs ahead of Gandhi Jayanti next year, Excise Minister Govindan said. It is about educating the younger generation about the threat of addiction to intoxicants.

It is true that we live in a time when even children fall prey to this evil. This happened because of the indifferent approach of the leaders. Although there is an age restriction for young people to access Bevco points of sale, it is not strictly enforced. Don't care  attitude of the Police and the Excise has made this state a green turf for drug dealers. Even some police officers are agents of drug dealers and they are making a huge profit from this dirty business.

Having established countless Bevco outlets all around Kerala, it is unwise to open Vimukthi clubs in compasses and lament that addiction to intoxicants has reached a dangerous level. Drug and liquor cases cannot be controlled by cosmetic treatment, but strict police action is required to catch drug traffickers.

Futilel hartal

So far, the Kerala High Court has issued numerous orders opposing hartal in Kerala. However, this time the court refused to oppose the hartal on Monday which was announced by LDF and UDF in support of the nationwide farmers' protest.

The court's observation that those who do not want to cooperate with hartal should have adequate protection if they want to go to work, will have no impact. As usual on Hartal's Day, people will stay home watching TV with snacks and drinks. None of them want to make a scene in public. State employees will receive their salary because one of the sponsors of the hartal is ruling LDF.

For the past year and a half people have been in a hartal mood with the lockdown, police case and fine over Covid-19 and they are all set to face the same thing one more day. Monday's hartal is futile.

Deserve salute

There is nothing wrong with saluting an actor of national esteem. Actors like Mohanlal, Mammootty, Suresh Gopi etc., are national award winners for best actor and deserve greetings even if not requested

The related video shows actor Suresh Gopi asking for a greeting in a low voice and the policeman handled the situation wisely. Any debate on this incident is based solely on politics.

#Virus #spreads #quickly

After the Corona virus and the Nipah virus, another virus that has seeped into the undereducated minds of Kerala is the Sir / Madam virus. No one should write greetings Sir or Madam in a letter or request.

After Mathur, Muttar and Ambalapuzha panchayats Angamaly and Paravur block panchayats in Ernakulam district also decided to ban the use of greetings like "Sir" and "Madam". The implication is that the virus spreads quickly

Greetings from Sir and Madam are vestiges of colonial rule, according to these narrow minds, but they have no suggestion for a proper greeting. They are all waiting for the State Language Institute to come up with alternatives

Not only that. They also decided to remove words like apeshikunnu or abhyarthikunnu (meaning I request) in letters submitted to the council or secretary of the local body. Instead, people can use avakashapedunnu (I demand) or thalparyapedunnu (I desire) because the people are the masters and the employees are their servants.

So the question is: could the people use the words ahwanam cheyyannu (I call) or Ajnapikkunnu (I order) because they are the masters. Our state is truly a kangaroo court where all those who wield the sword are enlightened.

Draconian recommendation

The recommendation by the Eleventh Pay Commission to form a recruiting committee inclusive of representatives of the management of private schools and colleges is curious. What else is going in that direction now? 

The presence of management representatives on recruitment boards is a major handicap and a cause of corruption. Videography of recruitment.procedure is a stupid joke to deceive onlookers. What is needed is to entrust the recruitment process to the Public Service Commission.

.

Likewise, raising the retirement age is a draconian idea and poses a direct threat to the thousands of qualified young people seeking employment.

Forgoing free healthcare

It all seems to be a lucrative business for the Kerala state government. A government order setting the rates for treatment packages for post-COVID complications for patients with APL in government hospitals is one indication. The government previously said COVID care would be free for everyone in government hospitals.

There are many educational institutions in Kerala which appoint teachers without any donation. Many of them have changed this policy now. The reason is that the new generation has lost values ​​and all philanthropic men are dead and gone. The same goes with the current government

 

At a time when people struggle to survive the economic devastation of COVID, alongside the ravages of the disease itself, the government forgoing free healthcare is ruthless.

Betrayal

People get corrupted under corrupt rulers. The irregularities of the Karuvannur Cooperative Bank are far beyond imagination. Siphoning over Rs 50 cr from 46 bank loans by a single person is amazing

There are over 3,000 cooperative banks statewide, and these banks are run by political parties. If the party leaders are corrupt, the followers also seek the same path. It is therefore very urgent to take a close look at the entire cooperative banking sector in the state, otherwise the people who have deposited their hard earned money in these banks will lose it forever.

Money and corruption ruin the state. Crooked politicians betray the working class by treating them like sheep. This modern sheep receives fodder in the form of occasional food kits.

About Covid discipline

#Imposing #Covid discipline

A fight between traders and police in Kozhikode over Covid-19 regulations is an indication of poor management of implementing Covid protocols. The current approach of Covid protocols works for the rich and the salaried class while it hurts traders, workers and day laborers.

In states like Andhra, the practice is that it is not the duty of the government but of the people to observe the Covid protocols. Anyone refuses to obey the rules that he alone is subjected to damages and the government has no direct responsibility for this. Strict adherence to  lockdown in Kerala is a reason enough for people to congregate in public places when the lockdown is lifted. And it is a potential cause for the spread of Covid.

People have been dealing with Covid for about two years and most of them know how to tackle it.  So it is high time for the  government to consider whether to continue or not strict discipline in imposing Covid restrictions.

Gouri_Amma, the Red Star of Kerala

The first revenue minister of Kerala state and one of the founding leaders of the Communist movement in Kerala, is no more. Smt K R Gouri Amma  is dead.She was heading the Janathipathiya Samrakshana Samithy party.

With her candidature to Kerala Assembly Election in 2011, then 92-year-old K.R. Gouri Amma has made history and she was a sure entry to the Guinness Book of World Records. Gouri Amma was the only candidate to contest all the assembly elections till 2011 since the state first went to polls in 1957.

Gouri Amma’s candidature in 2011 had raised many an eyebrow for she contesting at such an old age when most other individuals retire from all activities at 70 at the most. The energy she gave to all others was very much as it persuades unoccupied people to do something rewarding in life. Though she was expelled from the Marxist party in 1994, the Marxist leaders were good in terms witth her just because of her unbridled courage and positive attitude to human life. 

 Long live the memory of Gouri Amma and her optimistic outlook.

Con-woman drama ends.

The drama played by various political parties in Kerala with Saritha S Nair, the con-woman in solar scam, is over. She was sentenced to 6 years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs 40,000 in connection with the solar scam.

The woman who defrauded huge sums of money from various people offering to install solar panels was a tool for left-wing parties to prevent the UDF from regaining power in 2016. Even the elderly Ommen Chandy was her target in the sex scandal. She even dared to challenge Rahul Gandhi in LS polls with the support of those political parties who were working in disguise behind her.

Thanks  to our judicial system as she was not allowed to commit a criminal act in the current Assembly election. Also for the next elections, she could do nothing because her prison sentence did not end until after 6 years.

Costly Pooram

Thrissur Pooram will be held without avoiding customs and abiding the COVID protocol, it is reported. No one will be allowed to attend Pooram without producing a  COVID negative  certificate. People over the age of 45 must present a COVID vaccination certificate.

It is interesting to note that in order to get a  Covid negative.certificate, people have to take a Covid test. In Kerala the RT-PCR test costs Rs 2,100. The GeneXpert test cost has been revised to Rs 2,500. Tru-nat is now at Rs 2,100. Antigen testing remains the same at Rs 625. In short, whoever wants to attend Pooram has to spend a lot of money. Children would not be allowed to attend Pooram.

If Pooram is not for ordinary people, to hold it is suspect. Pooram shouldn't be for protecting someone's ego. It should be for a cause.

Of course, festivals promote diversity and bring people together. They increase the opportunities for civic pride. However, if they are life threatening, it is best to avoid them.

Tne regret

The regret

Regret expressed. by  Devaswom Minister  Kadakampally Surendran on the incidents that took place in Sabarimala regarding the entry of women, is good but it will not work because the believers do not trust Kadakampally.

Moreover, Kadakampally is not the only authority to speak out on CPM policy issues. If it is said by Pinarayi or Vijayaraghavan, it has some substance, but the devotees do not trust them too. Funny to hear `` Namajapam '' rituals from AKG centre.
