Impunity in Kerala

#Impunity in #Kerala

The autocratic rule of CPM in Kerala is once again exposed by the issuance of an ordinance which allows the government to regulate the powers of Lok Ayukta. The decision to limit the power of the Lok Ayukta is a major shift in LDF government policy. The Lok Ayukta ordinance was not discussed up front.

In everything, be it K-Rail or Lok Ayukta, there is always something questionable. The CPI Secretary of State also doubts this line. The opposition is seemingly powerless to correct the corrupt practice of the ruling front.

Nobel Laureate Rigoberta Menchú once said: "Without strong watchdog institutions, impunity becomes the very foundation upon which systems of corruption are built. And if impunity is not demolished, all efforts to end corruption are in vain". By clipping the wings of Lok Ayukta, impunity becomes a bedrock in Kerala.

Media trial

#Media #trial crossed all limits

India's Supreme Court rejecting the Kerala government's plea to extend the trial in the actress attack case, is welcome. Otherwise, this case would have been prolonged indefinitely to divert ordinary people's attention from all the burning issues of the state.

Lately, it is a habit of the channels in Kerala to force people to move around issues involving sex and violence. The nun rape case and the actress assault case are examples. The hours that these channels have spent on these soap operas are far beyond any calculation. The recent Additional  Session Court verdict put nun rape case in the ashtray. Then, the channels began to overbroadcast the case of the attack on the actress.

 The general public has become too anxious about stupid issues of sex and violence. Households have become pornographic cinemas created by channels

By not prolonging the trial of the actress' assault case, the court has saved Kerala households from the current ugly channel affairs. The media trial of the actress' assault case has crossed all limits

Goondaraj

The incident that a youth was murdered and the body dumped outside Kottayam East Police Station is chilling. This type of horrible act will happen in a state where Goondaraj is in practice. Is Kerala a state ruled by Goondas?

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Society will not be ruined by those who have guns but by those who watch in silence."

This quote accurately explains the goonda raj of Kerala.

A bitter truth is that our police lack the courage to fight for something that is wrong with society. This may be due to interference from low level politicians. And if the state really wants to fix things, the police should give up their cowardice. If sees something wrong, immediate action must be taken and for this strong government support is needed. In the current law and order situation in Kerala, the police could not expect such support.

Praise to China

Praise to #China.

S Ramachandran Pillai's speech praising China at CPM Kottayam district committee meeting is controversial especially when China takes a stand against India on border issues and trade affairs.

Pillai expresses his loyalty to China and denounces India. If a Chinese citizen speaks praising India within his country, he would like not to be there to utter another word.

Some senior CPM officials in India have a close association with China under the presumption that China still promotes communism. But what's going on there is pure capitalism disguised as communism and every member of the Chinese Communist Party's politburo is a multi-millionaire.

Pillai declaring brotherhood with China is something against his motherland. Although a member of the Politburo, Pillai is a low profile leader who is unable to win an election in any þanchayat ward of Kerala. For him to win an election, he must run in one of the constituencies in China
