Happy New Year!

Gone was the tumultuous year blemished by sadness. Terrorist attacks,  Ebola outbreaks and a dreadful series of airline disasters are the dismal footprints of last year. However, there were a few instances of cheerfulness. 

On this New Year eve let us cherish Neil Gaiman. He said: “I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something”.

A New Year day is day of fresh start. A new chapter in life is waiting to be written. New questions are to be asked and answer to be discovered. Freshers  would come  and incumbents go. Happy New Year!

Surrender to liquor lobby

It is absolutely true that the UDF government of Kerala had surrendered to "liquor lobby" and charges  made by KPCC President in this direction is correct.  What CM and his coterie saying about ‘practical changes’ in the liquor policy is incomprehensible. The story, of plight of bar workers who lost jobs due to closure of bars and adverse impact on tourism sector, is fabricated and is intended to hide the bribe they collected from abkari contractors. The ministers and MLAs keeping deep concern over bar workers are out rightly ignoring the innumerable families lost in despair due to liquor hazards.  Permitting bars to function on all days and saying the government would succeed in creating awareness among people on the policy is ridiculous.

It is to be stated that the credit the nine percent fall in recent liquor consumption in Kerala goes to V M Sudheeran alone. The government sponsored practicability is undoubtedly a virtual sabotage of the policy of gradual reduction of liquor sale.

Sad Congress party

V M Sudheeran said that the new liquor policy decided by the UDF had been subverted by the government. This statement is absolutely right. The deviation in the liquor policy is shocking. The UDF government has backtracked from their earlier stand. The interests of bar lobbies thus have been protected.

Sudheeran with his ‘Janapaksha yatra' has made an impact in the society and made awareness especially among women about the  evils of liquor. A wide section of people whole heartedly supported him. There was a fall in road accidents, crimes and domestic violence but with the present practical approach government toppled all his efforts. The stand of Oommen Chandy and his faithful K  Babu saying that Kerala tourism sector was affected with partial liquor ban is not standing.

The Congress spokesman M M Hassan saying that Sudheeran’s stand is sorrowful to Congress party, is unwarranted. If Hassan is so sad he can make happy himself by taking 2-3 pegs from the nearby bar.

Mani should resign

Corruption case now registered against, Kerala’s Finance Minister K.M. Mani  is a sufficient reason for him to resign  from the Cabinet. The case is registered after an  inquiry into the allegation that Mani had accepted Rs.1 crore as bribe from the Kerala Bar Hotel Owners’ Association. When there are leaders in Kerala Congress other than Mani it would be better for him to abstain from the present position and come clean after the verdict,

In Kerala almost all the politicians are corrupt and Mani is not an exception. The wealth the leaders amassed till now is not by legitimate methods but by hook or crook. In bars there is no governmental  audit regarding the money they collected by selling liquor. It is quite evident that in many bars most of the liquors sold are seconds and for this there are ministerial blessings. The bar owners pay heavily for this help. Mani, the most crafty fellow in the Kerala cabinet saying that he has not accepted bribe is unbelievable.

If Mani is unwilling to resign he should be removed from the post by the Chief Minister. If  UDF is reluctant to keep away Mani for some time it should become detrimental for them in the coming elections.

Pinarayi speak

I endorse what CPM State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan said about Kiss of Love protest. He said” it is quite inappropriate to enact what a husband and wife do inside their bedroom in a public place.” And with this statement the DYFI comrades in Alappuzha are in a perplexed state as they are the sponsors of the next edition of the protest there.

As kiss protest is a public annoyance it is the duty of the police force to control it. The incidence of general public dealing with the protestors is because of the inaction of the police in checking down public nuisance. The act of protestors, equating their kiss event with those of Pope kissing a child or Mata Amritanandamayi hugging a disciple, is of ignorance.

Public kiss threat

The people of Kerala have been again warned by miscreants that the next edition of the ‘kiss of love’ will be conducted in Alappuzha. It is high time for the police to take preventive measures against such illegal activities. The minister in charge of police Ramesh Chennithala saying that he is least concerned about the incident is unjustifiable.

If public kiss protest is against what is called moral policing, will activist can engage in public liquor consumption? Is it possible for anyone to walk without dress if it is beyond the concern of passersby? The Home Minister should be a little for practical and those public kissers disobeying law or police direction should be severely dealt with.

Presumably the forces behind kiss protesters are drug mafia and prostitute outfits. A group of transgenders, known for their unruly life, are also behind the kiss protest. Immoral activities Kerala streets should not be permitted at any cost.

Celebrities courting trouble.

The incidents of celebrities courting trouble in Kerala are rampant. Of late, first of its kind came from noted cine singer K J Jesudas coming heavily on women wearing jeans. Then came veteran actor Mammootty asking women folk to not give birth to children if they are unable give them home-made food. Finally it is the turn of another veteran actor Mohanlal asking  pardon for Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who is convicted under TADA for his involvement in Mumbai serial blasts case of 1993. Mohanlal commented that an actor like Sanjay Dutt, who has been a part of the cinema industry from last 2 decades, should be treated with compassion. The implication is: he too be forgiven for mistakes of the sort. The actor, who has been nominated for the civilian award Padma Bhushan, is also facing troubles for the possessing ivory without license. He at present serves the post of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army .A person holding such a position should never come in favour of a person involved in terrorist acts.

This is not for the first time the actor is falling in trouble. He earlier received huge criticisms for appearing in the commercial of a popular jewellery brand in military uniform. His latest blog, in which he criticizes moral policing and advocating man–woman public kiss is also controversial.

The writer-orator late Dr Sukumar Azhikode once called the actor as “Kankalam”( epitome of wickedness). And with the recent comments the actor has not proved it otherwise.
