Ridiculous Stand

#Ridiculous #Stand

It is ridiculous that former Finance Minister Dr. Thomas Isaac has come out in support of Reporter Channel and Anto Augustine. The people will not accept the move to politicize the natural legal proceedings of the government and the GST department. 

When an investigation is underway against an institution facing serious allegations including financial fraud worth crores and money laundering abroad, it is highly condemnable to label it as illegal.

Thomas Isaac is looking for a way out of the party due to recent political interference. In such a situation, channel coverage and media attention have become essential. Isaac knows that if he supports Reporter Channel now, his head and full figure will appear on their TV screens. That is the reason for taking such wrong stands.

It is the primary duty of the government to bring those who are involved in major financial irregularities and liquor trade to justice under the guise of journalism. The state government and the investigative agencies are commendable for their decision to bring financial crimes to light through honest and transparent investigations. 

The government is sending a strong message that the law is the same for everyone and that even big media houses or individuals cannot escape punishment for financial irregularities.

Channel Raid welcome

ChannelRaid Welcome
.The media heroes who sit in the channel room in the evening and judge everyone in the world and pass judgment, only realized that 'the law is the same for all' when the police arrived at their doorstep with a court order.

It is interesting to see that those who openly bid on anyone's life and dignity for prime time ratings and to fill the pockets of the capitalists in the evening discussions, suddenly turned into guardians of freedom of expression when the law came their way in their own case. This small blow received by such seventh-rate media personalities who are taking classes on the sanctity of journalism after evading taxes and fraud worth crores, is actually what the common people of Kerala wanted.

This is a warning to the low-level journalism that is creating chaos in the country by misleading the people and fabricating fake news.  It is commendable that the insolence of these media tycoons has been put to an end, at least temporarily, through the proper intervention of the court and the firm action of the police.

It is clear that the idea that any channel can show any injustice to fill the pockets of the boss is no longer valid. This stand taken by the government against those who justify their own frauds in the name of media ethics is a clear warning to other news channels that are also going astray.

Unfair media actions

#Unfair #MediaActions
Reporter TV owner Anto Augustine's untrue and highly condemnable revelations against Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan are tarnishing the political and media culture of Kerala.

A clear picture needs to be brought out about the secret groups that approached the media with fake documents and allegations against the Chief Minister of a state, and the political agendas behind it. Anto Augustine, who forgot the role of the media, prepared a platform for such fake propaganda and raised allegations against the responsible state head without investigating the facts, should be subjected to strong police interrogation.

Making the media a victim of unfair political rivalry that goes to any extreme to destroy the democratically elected government is a huge threat to constitutional institutions and democracy itself.

The activities of such channel owners who misuse channels for personal or political narrow interests instead of bringing honest news to the people are extremely dangerous.  It is imperative to legally stop such heinous moves that are trying to create a smokescreen in the society and mislead the people by making false allegations.

If the real forces behind the conspiracy behind the fabrication of fake documents are not identified and brought to justice, it will send a very wrong message to the general public of Kerala. Strong legal action and public protests must be raised against such unscrupulous tendencies in the media.

ED's nose

#ED_'s_nose

The nose-smashing of central agencies and the political battles over it have become a new entertainment in Kerala politics. If you listen to M. Swaraj's statement that "ED does not have a nose that is only for pulling Pinarayi", we will feel that the investigation agencies are not coming to pull the accused by the neck, but by the nose! 

One would doubt whether these theoretical scholars are trying to somehow provoke the ED and suddenly bring the former chief minister into the fold. Such provocative statements can actually be seen as a wasteful tactic to excite their own followers, rather than the seriousness of the case. 

In the meantime, some leaders have come forward with a mass dialogue that they will face it legally, politically and through channels. In a system where agencies continue to investigate and courts consider the case, the truths in the case are not going to disappear due to this channel fight and verbal battles. Let the investigation take its course peacefully.  The legal system will decide whether the allegations are true or not.

Leaders should put aside political dramas and rhetoric and face matters only through the law.

#Deadly #Exclusive

#Deadly_Exclusive

​We cannot help but applaud the extraordinary media prowess of Channel Twenty-Four, which was finally able to locate Sukumara Kurup, who has been desperately searching for years by the Crime Branch and Interpol, at a construction site in Bruno. Even the Home Department must have been shocked for a moment to hear the news that Kurup is working there happily. However, that deadly exclusive, which claimed to be a picture of Kurup and showed a photo of poor Damodara Menon, is a major milestone in the history of fake news.

The arrogance of anyone to fabricate anything and present it as a person, and the irresponsibility of committing personal murder without any basic information, are clearly evident here. Strong legal action must be taken against such media conspiracies that set out to catch Kurup and make ordinary passers-by criminals.

The situation where anything can be fabricated for the sake of ratings and to push breaking news is in any case reprehensible. It would not be surprising if tomorrow, in order to increase ratings, news was broadcast saying that Alexander Chakravarthy is running a plywood company in Perumbavoor or that Napoleon has taken a rice mill on lease in Kuttanad. Channels that broadcast such fabrications that throw dust in the eyes of the people without even investigating the facts and basic information are showing deception to the public.

Exemplary punitive measures must be taken by the authorities immediately to stop such trends that turn journalism into a comedy show.

No vehicle modification

#No_vehicle_modification 

The Kerala High Court's stand that illegal modifications to vehicles manufactured by companies adhering to the correct safety standards and engineering norms pose a threat to the lives of the public is quite welcome. It is vanity and financial arrogance to put vehicles on the road by unnecessarily fitting or changing their structure as they see fit. 

Such trends that create chaos on the road by installing extremely loud horns and large lights are causing considerable difficulties to other vehicle users and pedestrians. The fact that society and the government are involved in such anti-social activities in the name of 'new generation' or in the name of low-level enthusiasm can only serve to turn public roads into a danger trap. 

It is absolutely unacceptable for the government and people's representatives to take a soft approach to lawbreakers. It is completely irresponsible to justify and encourage such unnecessary trends of the youth with the aim of vote bank or temporary applause.  Giving unlimited concessions to law violations in the name of new reforms will invite major disasters in the coming days.

The Chief Minister should not get excited about the "Pookie CM" calls of those who are going to modify vehicles. The safety of the public should be given first priority; therefore, the government should immediately prepare to implement the High Court verdict to the letter and take uncompromising and strict action against those who modify vehicles and those who are in cahoots with them.

Anarchy must be prevented

#Anarchy #MustBePrevented

​The ongoing disputes between the constitutional head of Kerala and the elected people's government are more than just a political battle, they raise serious concerns about our democratic values.

​While the technical argument that the Governor does not have the constitutional right to directly summon the Director General of Police (DGP) to the Lok Bhavan is being raised, the reality cannot be forgotten that it is his duty to intervene to protect the Constitution when there is a breakdown in law and order in the state.

​The recent incidents of violence by SFI activists at Kannur University and Kerala University are not mere breaches of discipline. It is a disgrace to enlightened Kerala that the police system, which is supposed to maintain law and order, has been standing idly by while violent anarchy is unleashed even against those holding constitutional positions. The state Home Minister and the Chief Minister should answer for this callous attitude of the police. 

The Governor has to intervene when the government fails to discharge its constitutional responsibilities.​Even if the Governor has constitutional limitations to directly summon officials, it would be good for the rulers to remember that he has the power to recommend the dissolution of the cabinet through constitutional provisions including Article 356 in the event of a breakdown in the constitutional machinery of the state.

​The government and those holding constitutional positions should be prepared to act responsibly by recognizing their jurisdictions, without making universities a platform for political struggles, and to maintain the standard of higher education and to advance governance by respecting the dignity of constitutional institutions. Otherwise, what will be destroyed is the law and order in our country and the people's faith in democratic institutions.

Political opportunism

#Chandy Oommen's political opportunism.

Chandy Oommen’s decision to jump into the dispute between K. B. Ganesh Kumar and G. Sukumaran Nair looks more like political opportunism than genuine concern. By strongly supporting Sukumaran Nair and calling him a national asset, Chandy appears to be ignoring the serious allegations raised by Ganesh Kumar about nepotism, autocratic functioning and questionable dealings within the NSS.

Whatever Ganesh Kumar’s personal shortcomings may be, his long association with the NSS gives him considerable knowledge of how the organisation functions. Chandy Oommen, on the other hand, has suddenly taken up the role of Nair’s strong supporter. This raises questions about whether his support is really based on admiration or on political calculations and an attempt to win community support.

The biggest irony is that Chandy has chosen not to address the serious issues raised against the NSS leadership. Ganesh Kumar has questioned the concentration of power and the way the organisation is being run, while Chandy appears to be defending the existing system without addressing those concerns.

His intervention therefore looks less like an act of principle and more like political calculation. It is an attempt to gain community support by standing firmly behind a powerful community leader at a time of internal controversy.

Rare Event

#Rare #Event

Kerala should tremble when a film actor is said to be leaving the BJP, but that did not happen in Devan's case. Because the fact that Devan was in the BJP is 'breaking news' for many.

When his party KPP merged with the BJP, the question of whether there was anyone to merge is still relevant. Perhaps if Devan did the merger alone, then it is just a rare political event that one person joins and a party merges at the same time.

All he had to do to announce his resignation was stand from his balcony at home, but Devan traveled all the way to Kanichukulangara and announced it in the presence of Padma Bhushan Vellappally Natesan. It would take a political strategist to understand the logic behind announcing his departure from the BJP in front of someone who has no connection with the BJP. 

It is said that the decision taken five months ago has now been announced and that the letter will be handed over soon. In other words, the distance between the resignation and its official document is as far as Devan's actual influence in the BJP.

Devan is now in the condition of a donkey whose health has deteriorated, his bones have been broken and his teeth have fallen out. Actor Bheeman Raghu can also be included in that category. -

Disgracefull act

#Disgraceful #Act

The mock funeral agitation conducted by the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) against the Vice-Chancellor of Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit is deeply deplorable and unacceptable. Resorting to such extreme measures under the guise of student protest is a blatant attack on academic dignity, amounting to severe mental harassment and character assassination of respected educators. 

Such acts completely derail democratic/ principles, setting a harmful precedent that disrespects the sacred environment of higher education institutions. The police should never stand as mute spectator to such heinous incidence. ​The state government and law enforcement must take immediate, stringent action to book the culprits responsible for this incident.

The authorities must implement strict regulatory measures and institutional guidelines across all universities to ensure that such disgraceful acts are never repeated, restoring safety, mutual respect, and academic decorum on college campuses.

Disservice by the Opposition

#Disservice by the Opposition

The deliberate and uncooperative attitude of the opposition parties throughout this parliamentary session is a serious disservice to democracy and the national interest. By choosing political obstruction over constructive discussion, they have repeatedly disrupted parliamentary proceedings and prevented meaningful legislative work. 

Valuable parliamentary time, funded by taxpayers, has been lost because of this persistent obstruction. Instead of focusing on substantive public issues and presenting constructive policy alternatives, the opposition has often resorted to confrontation and disruption. As a result, important legislative business has been delayed and several matters of national importance have suffered. Such continued obstruction weakens public confidence in Parliament and its democratic functioning. 

It also reflects a regrettable disregard for the expectations of citizens who look to Parliament to debate issues and find solutions to the country's most pressing challenges.

Goon Hunting and channel celebration

#Goon Hunting and Channel Celebration.

Congratulations to the Home Minister and the police for the action taken to take into custody the notorious criminal Arjun Ayanki, who has continuously defied the police and the Home Department. However, the fact that a person accused in 23 criminal cases has been able to roam the society without any hindrance for so long exposes the serious loopholes and breakdown in our law and order system. 

Such dramatic incidents could have been avoided if proper punishment had been ensured in one or two cases earlier. Only through strict implementation of the rule of law can criminals be stopped. Therefore, the decision of the Home Department to equally crack down on all types of criminals who spread violence and fear in the society, regardless of gender, is welcome and should be implemented without compromise.

 ​Also, the stance of Malayalam news channels, which portray even the arrest of a criminal as a big news story like the dropping of an atomic bomb and turn it into an hour-long celebration, is extremely deplorable. Such excessive importance and celebrations only serve to give unnecessary media attention and fame to criminals. 

There is no basis in the argument that the police are stopping the drug hunt to catch goons; because the presence of such people in gold smuggling and drug trade is clear. By arresting goons, the roots of drug and gold smuggling networks can also be uprooted at the same time. Therefore, beyond mere channel dramas, the country needs strong ongoing investigations aimed at this double goal

DBT is better

#DBT is better

The decision to transition social security pension payments to Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) through Aadhaar-linked commercial bank accounts is a necessary step toward transparency, efficiency, and modern governance. 

By ensuring that payments flow directly into verified bank accounts, this policy eliminates intermediary friction, guarantees timely disbursements, and prevents financial leakages such as duplicate payments or unverified records Retaining doorstep delivery specifically for bedridden beneficiaries strikes the right balance between fiscal efficiency and compassionate social welfare.  

​

The previous administration's practice of sending physical messengers from local cooperative banks to hand-deliver cash was financially wasteful and prone to administrative misuse. The cooperative bank payment system suffered from severe demerits, including delayed remittances of undistributed funds, poor record-keeping, lack of proper account reconciliation, and systemic risks of paying duplicate pensions due to incomplete Aadhaar integration. 

Using commission-earning agents to deliver physical cash when nearly all other government welfare schemes operate seamlessly through direct electronic banking was an unnecessary drain on public funds. Ending this middleman-driven system closes administrative loopholes and ensures taxpayer money is managed responsibly.

Investigation is needed

#Investigation is needed

Before the dust had settled from Jantar Mantar, the cockroach leaders were bursting cold drink bottles under the crystal chandeliers. In a "hard fight for the bottom", the cockroach trio of leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were already at the forefront of filling the interior of the five-star hotel with liquor vapors.

The Cockroach Janata Party revolutionaries, who were not overjoyed when Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned, celebrated with a booze party at a luxury hotel in New Delhi as a logical event for social justice. While the ordinary protesters who had come to see the cockroach trio were not getting any money for the bus ride back home, the CJP high command was busy teaching them to "protest by dancing" and "organize by drinking cold coffee".  They respected the open bar and room service, seeing them as police barricades. 

When the team's entry from the street leaders' violation of the law to the five-star hotel room was captured in viral videos, an unwritten question appeared before the public: Who bore the cost of a luxury hotel for a thug movement led by "lazy and unemployed"? How many lakhs of rupees were spent there? Is there any account of this left in the hands of the cockroaches?

The government should investigate this and take necessary action

Flippant remark by Brittas

Flippant remark by Brittas
Parliamentary debate relies heavily on mutual respect and decorum to maintain the dignity of the house. The interjection by CPM MP John Brittas while AIADMK MP M. Thambidurai was speaking in the Rajya Sabha was an unnecessary and disrespectful distraction.

Mocking or questioning the emotional and political reverence with which a senior leader refers to the late J. Jayalalithaa as 'Amma' shows a clear lack of political courtesy. M. Thambidurai is a distinguished public servant who has served as a Union Minister, a long-standing Member of Parliament, and the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha. Interrupting such an experienced statesman with a flippant remark fails to observe basic parliamentary norms.

​Political differences and sharp debates are an integral part of democracy, but they should never translate into petty attempts to derail a speech. Disrupting a colleague’s address on a crucial topic like NEET with mock questions reflects poorly on the etiquette expected of an elected representative.

The CPM leadership should remind MP John Brittas about the importance of good manners, basic courtesy, and self-restraint in upper-house deliberations. A parliamentarian's focus ought to remain on constructive policy discussions rather than resorting to cheap interjections that diminish the gravity of the floor.

Betrayal by PSC

#Betrayal by PSC

Allegations of manipulation and selective evaluation in the recruitment process of the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) strike at the very foundation of public trust.

When officials manipulate evaluation procedures, such as leaving answer sheets partially unevaluated to favor specific individuals it shatters the hopes of honest candidates and undermines the credibility of state institutions. Corruption in recruitment is not just administrative wrongdoing; it is a direct betrayal of educated job seekers who deserve a fair and transparent selection process.

​To prevent such misconduct and restore integrity to the recruitment process, systemic reforms must be enforced immediately. First, all evaluation systems, including digital tabulations, must undergo strict, independent third-party audits alongside mandatory publishing of detailed marks and evaluated scripts under RTI without unwarranted delays. Second, stringent legal and administrative measures must be established, including time-bound criminal inquiries, immediate suspension of implicated staff pending investigation, and permanent blacklisting of anyone found guilty.

 Finally, introducing end-to-end anonymization, automated multi-tier cross-verification for descriptive evaluations, and stringent oversight by an independent tribunal will ensure that merit alone dictates public service appointments.

So humble!

#So_humble!

Finally, he said, "Don't make me a hero!" Yes, that great leader who carried world peace and universal truths on his shoulders is so humble! 

Is it for nothing that a few so-called intellectuals from the south and a few hatters from the north rushed to support Abhijit Deepke, the true leader of the 'Cockroach Party'? It is not because this global phenomenon has no other work to do, but because of the heat of the Patta revolution that is going to solve all the injustices in the world overnight! 

In any case, since we have come out to save the poor working class, our Cockroach leader should kindly make up his mind to put a stop to the examination irregularities and mark cheating that are so common in Kerala. and Punjab. This cockrach revolutionary, who is capable of digging into all the wrongdoings in the system and eliminating them, needs at most two minutes to fix such a small thing! 

 The ranks are waiting, for global change.

Concerning precedent

#Concerning #precedent

The government’s decision to yield under street pressure sets a concerning precedent that risks rewarding disruptive tactics over institutional due process. And that is especially after taking prompt corrective steps, ordering a CBI probe, and conducting a clean re-examination

By allowing political groups to weaponize public sentiment and force ministerial exits, the administration inadvertently signals that policy and governance can be hijacked by organized agitations. Rather than retreating to appease vocal factions, the state must assert its authority through unwavering governance, strictly investigate the financial and political backers driving these agitations. 

Also ensure that institutional integrity is maintained through rigorous legal mechanisms rather than concessions to organized pressure funded by divisive forces

Deal with iron hand

#Deal with iron hand

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demonstration at Jantar Mantar has strayed far beyond its initial objective regarding examination transparency. While the Ministry of Education has taken steps to address the paper leak controversies including conducting retests and facilitating the ongoing admission process for students' the group’s continued escalation suggests a broader political agenda rather than a genuine concern for student welfare.

Aggressive demands such as the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan appear targeted less at resolving structural educational issues and more at projecting image vulnerability onto the central government. 5uch disruptive posturing would set a dangerous precedent, rewarding agitational politics even when official machinery is actively resolving administrative grievances.  

​Furthermore,  the movement poses a threat to public order and national stability, advocating for a firm law enforcement against destabilizing tactics. Fringe elements and external interest groups are exploiting student anxieties to advance radical agendas. It draws parallels to divisive rhetoric such as demands surrounding the status of Jammu and Kashmir. The overt alignment between political entities like the Congress party and the CJP can be viewed  as clear evidence that traditional political forces are leveraging this agitation to foment unrest. 

In fact, the protest is no longer a constructive student movement but an orchestrated campaign that must be dealt with strictly to safeguard governance and national harmony.
