Star controversy: New edition

Star Controversy: New Edition
​Recording a phone conversation without preserving its privacy and making it public can be considered a completely inappropriate act. Talking between friends within the film industry does not have to be official or extremely cautious.

The fact that a popular artist like Ramesh Pisharody misused a normal conversation with his colleague in a friendly manner in this way can only be seen as a personal betrayal. Using such shortcuts to destroy someone politically or personally is a big setback for healthy friendships in the film industry.

​The actress, who was ready to film her childbirth with four cameras for the film, should now suddenly pretend to be a moral advocate and give such a chastity talk should be interpreted as complete absurdity.  It is a bit out of date for those who are willing to do anything for their own gains to publicly hunt down the privacy of others. Instead of discussing the internal affairs of the film industry among themselves, this act of the actress who tried to commit personal assassination in the public should be criticized.
​
The main reason why such controversies have gained so much publicity is the excessive interest and curiosity towards film stars. Malayalis, who see the heroes and heroines of the silver screen as their own family members, make the failures and disputes in their private lives a big topic of discussion.
​
​As for the AMMA, the star organization, it does not benefit the people of Kerala except that it is an organization that works for the welfare of its members. Although the outreach and medical assistance provided to the artistes suffering from disabilities is a great act of charity, there is no doubt that internal disputes within the organization and such controversies damage its image in front of the public.

PSC corruption

#PSC #Corruption and #AdministrativeFraud

​The irregularities that took place even in higher examinations, including the Kerala Administrative Service (KAS), are a brutal deception against lakhs of candidates. Such massive mismanagement and public betrayal took place under the noses of the governments and ministers who have ruled the state for the past decade. 

The indifference and indirect participation shown by the ministers who should have been responsible for administrative supervision and the high-ranking officials who should have maintained the transparency of the PSC is an unforgivable crime. It is a great shame for the democratic system that the bureaucratic and administrative leadership colluded to ensure backdoor appointments for their own people and those with political influence rather than the hard work of the helpless candidates.

​An urgent and strong investigation is essential to bring the political masters behind these frauds and the high-ranking officials who were complicit in the irregularities to justice.

Moves to protect the real masterminds, ministers and IAS officers, by scapegoating only low-ranking employees should not be allowed. 

Security lapses in the conduct of examinations, question paper leaks and mark manipulation should be thoroughly investigated and exemplary punishment should be ensured for the culprits. Only then can the credibility of the collapsed PSC be restored and justice ensured for the truly qualified candidates who have studied hard.

Urgent change in education is essential

#Urgent change in education is essential

​The central government's moves to control coaching centers and integrated schools, which have become a big mafia in the current education sector, are extremely welcome and the need of the hour. The multiple choice question system, which stifles the thinking and creativity of children, needs to be completely eliminated and examination methods that include descriptive questions, problems and derivations need to be implemented urgently. 

A national law needs to be brought as soon as possible, taking into account the reality that the method of studying and writing exams without understanding it,  is detrimental to even the basic writing skills of students. Banning topper advertisements featuring film and cricket stars and forcing coaching centers to disclose the qualifications of teachers and the actual success rate will put an end to fraud in this field.

​The country needs a transparent method of selecting the truly brilliant for professional courses by reforming the working methods of schools and through flawless examinations.  This new intervention by the Central Government gives great hope to lakhs of poor and bright children in rural areas who are missing out on opportunities due to their inability to invest lakhs in big coaching centres in metro cities.

We express our full support for these revolutionary moves by the Central Government aimed at protecting our future generation and the educational values ​​of the country from the exploitation of money-grubbing coaching mafias.

Tears of the poor

#Tears of the poor and politics of the fronts.

The United Democratic Front, which is turning the wheel of government, comes to power under the label of being the protector of the poor, but in practice it deceives the people. This is clear when we see the UDF government supporting the Uralungal Society, which had been occupying public works jobs without giving quotations during the Left government.

Instead of providing better education and employment to the common man and making them self-sufficient, the fronts are trying to turn colleges into bases for their selfish gain through unnecessary protests and violent politics. They are opposing modern education schemes like the centrally sponsored P.M. SHRI School due to political cataracts and are denying the children of the common man the best schools. 

While they send their own children and relatives to foreign universities and large private institutions to secure higher education and positions, they are only providing opportunity for the children of the poor to join the ranks to wave flags and shed blood on the streets. 

 The ruling and opposition parties are supporting the misguided advertisements and unscientific education methods of film and sports stars and corporates by turning quality government-aided colleges and universities into pawns

The fact that no leader dares to utter a word against the Elance-Mammootty, Lakshya-Mohanlal and Sanju Samson, who advertise that commerce studies are the only way out, proves the blatant hypocrisy of the fronts.

The current ruling party, which should have exposed the shortcomings of those who were in power before, is following the same  anti-people policies of the previous government, instead of claiming to be on the side of the poor.

The government does not have the energy to take strong action when poor children in rural areas are deprived of higher education opportunities, including medical admission, or when big business is being exploited in the field of education. They focus only on their own group fights and power-sharing, and see ordinary people as mere vote banks.  The clear proof of this is the free travel for women only in government buses

The ruling party, which is playing politics of compromise in a way that casts a shadow over the frauds and corruptions of the previous regime, is only putting on a show inside and outside the assembly. The reality that these two fronts, which have no connection between words and deeds, are cheating the poor people of Kerala by ruling alternately, needs to be recognized at least now.

Condemnable Stance

#Kuttanad MLA's stance is condemnable

The Chief Minister's stance that no local holiday will be given for Champakkulam boat race is extremely welcome. If such holidays are declared for local boat races and celebrations in each area, it will become a wrong precedent and will adversely affect the smooth functioning and administrative systems of the country. 

The protests against the Chief Minister's stance by burning effigy in Kuttanad without understanding this reality are completely condemnable. The aggressors and lawbreakers behind such unnecessary protests should be brought to justice as soon as possible and punished in an exemplary manner.

MLA Reji Cherian's current moves confirm the allegation that he has been taking an approach that is holding Kuttanad back in development matters.  The fact that he, who is part of the UDF front and a leader of the Kerala Congress, has come out to openly criticize the decisions of his own government and the Chief Minister is something that is intriguing in the political arena. 

Instead of focusing on the real development needs of the country, this action of the MLA, who is trying to put the government on the defensive by misleading the people and raising emotional issues, is not befitting a representative of the people.

P.M SHRI Needed

#Education_Reform_Is_needed

The government should urgently come forward to fully implement the PM Shri scheme, which will brighten the future of students and elevate our public education sector to global standards. A people's government should put aside political disputes or egos and prioritize the knowledge and progress of the coming generation.

Denying this golden opportunity to ordinary children to get modern technology and excellent lab facilities for free is tantamount to setting the country back decades. Therefore, the government should adopt a practical approach and prepare to successfully implement this scheme.

The stance of those who, out of political blindness, tear their throats on the streets against development projects that are coming for the good of the country is ridiculous.  As the children of the new age leap into the digital age with the world, their struggle to keep the rusty hand of old ideologies, is as pitiful as fighting their own shadow.

Those who oppose a project just because it has the name of the Centre are actually harming the future of poor students. People realize that such protest clowns, who immediately throw stones at the sight of the light of development, are making fools of themselves by not seeing the writings on the walls of time.

Nair's criticism

#Sukumaran Nair's criticism is a disgrace.

After being extremely insulted and even personally tried to hunt him down during the election, the stance of NSS General Secretary G. Sukumaran Nair, who is now approaching the Chief Minister for his own needs, is a matter of extreme political hypocrisy and shame. Sukumaran Nair's own arrogance  is evident in calling the Chief Minister an 'impudent' because he did not see the envoys he sent.

Nair should have remembered that a Chief Minister elected by the people has many administrative responsibilities and needs to maintain the dignity of that position. If the previous government or the Chief Minister had offered any kind of benefits, he should have shown the decency to ask for them.  The Chief Minister's energetic stance, which stood firm in his own personality and positions, without giving in to the base criticism of Sukumaran Nair, who is trying to pressure the government through opportunistic positions, following the submissions made earlier, is highly commendable.
