Being good is difficult

The action of Kerala CM against DCP Chaitra Theresa John for raiding the CPM  district committee oftce, Thiruvananthapuram, is unwarranted. Is this office, a place beyond the reach of police?

By taking action against the police officer, the government undermines the gravity of the crime committed by offenders. A gang of party workers pelting stones at the Medical College police station and allowing them to hide in the party office, are serious crimes. The DCP's action, therefore, was in the right direction. The criminal within the police who leaked out the raid news should be booked first.

Being a good police officer is one of the most difficult, dangerous, idealistic jobs in the world. Nevertheless, officers like Chaitra Theresa John place some hope about police in the minds of general public. Her action is a morale boost to the police force.

Thankless act

Mata Amritanandamayi's statement that the state administration has mishandled the Sabarimala issue, is in the right direction. The advisors of state rule do not know anything about the rituals and customs of temples. Amritanandamayi said the poojas, customs and traditions of each temple are different and this is one major issue which has to be addressed.

Based on her statement CPM Secretary and his cadres coming against her is out of the ordinary. It is an indecent act to undermine her service to humanity.Indiscriminate review about a good person based on petty politics is an exceptionally thankless act.
