Excerpts from the Opinion of Praveen Sakalya

2011-04-11T22:38:00.001+05:30

V.S Achuthanandan is seemingly vocal about the subjects like corruption, women and those subjects which he can get few votes. But his double standard is evident from the fact, he doesn’t even remember subjects like Lavlin, R-Block land scam by his on followers, Merchinston Estate – where Government’s money is looted by a shady deal, or Munnar operations that made a mockery of Government and left parties or against the issue of P.Sasi who dared him with serious allegations.

VS- as most of the people believe is proved to be an opportunist who just sake of getting few votes will do any kind of mockery. But the people of Kerala are tired of his tantrums that does not suit to someone holding the post of Chief Minister. He was in the front to attack the highly reputed scientist of our country and former President Dr.Abdul Kalam Azad, with comparisons which is pity to explain. He continues to talk and behave like Local secretary of CPM or a step below that.

He used the Lavlin issue to shield himself or to attack or to keep his party under his feet, but forgot it afterward. He makes explanations nobody understands which side he is- sometimes against Pinarayi and many times with Pinarayi. This is what surprises the people of kerala. If he is convinced enough that His party secretary is innocent, can’t he say it to the people? He keeps silent about it now fearing party, and his secretary who always correct the mistakes after a decade.

The R-Block land scam is architected by his own close followers, the poor farmers -who often are forced to fight against natural calamities like Flood and crop losses- are made foolish victims of party leader’s greed. Even if he knows the facts fully, he never came out to support these poor farmers. Always he use the same tantrum ‘ Padichukondirikkuunuuuuuuuu…uuuuu’.

Merchinston was another scam that is orchestrated by powerful CPM leaders along with a shady businessman whose house is rented out to LDF Ministers with High rental expenses. It took the serious intervention and strikes of Opposition to make some serious steps about the allegations. But still the government tries to sabotage the case misusing the bureaucrats.

He was completely hiding and does not respond to the questions of Sari-kiliroor sex scandal victim and P.Sasi against whom serious sexual harassment allegations are leveled by his own party MLA and workers. The new party secretary for Kannur says, no allegations against Sasi, but the general secreatry Prakash Karat says there are serious allegations. VS collected all details about the whole fiasco well in advance and will use only when it can benefit him in silencing the opponents in the party. It is sad that he neglects the real cause of Women’s whose life is spoiled by his own Party’s District Secretary.

All these lead to a fact; VS just wants Votes and like issues that can silence his opposite faction in the party. He doesn’t care about the people of this state, the mothers, sisters and daughters of our state. He is not even shy to get them arrested when he is cocooned in the comfort of his Chief Ministership as happened in case of Sari’s father.

A Mother’s three Children

Rama killed Ravana, change this into passive voice, is a common question which is present even nowadays in question papers of several lower school classes. Rama is our beloved Srirama and Ravana the same old King of Lanka. From time immemorial this question revolves around several question papers all over India and especially Kerala. But no teacher lost his/her hand during the course of this teaching from active to passive. Various other statements like Rama killed a snake, Krishna defeated Rama and various other characters in the Hindu mythology has taken a strong position in sharing knowledge to the upcoming aspirants. Till date no one has expressed concern over this or has vehemently attacked the question bearers staking claim over Rama as Lord Srirama and Snake as Lord Ananthan. A famous left sympathizer has written a play entitled “Easwaran arrestil” directly attacking the Hindu traditions and Gods. Kerala’s renowned lyricist Vayalar has wrote several lines against God even claiming that the God is blind. Even the latest Movie of ace director Maniratnam has glorified Ravana to greater elevations atop of the personality of Rama.

The mimicry troupes all over Kerala sarcastically portrays Hindu Gods even for programs conducted in temples as part of the annual feasts.. In several Malayalam films comedians do the role of Oracles. The astrologers are treated in a funny way.The Saints and Sadhus usually have a shade of a failed love affair or of that of a rogue lover who comes during night in Malayalam films. The Christian priests are often sarcastically portrayed for their snail paced rhythm based dialogue delivering skill. Ace script writer Ranji Panicker has attacked the Bishops and fake ‘Man Gods’ in a gruesome way on his several movies like “Ekalavyan” and “Lelam”. The above mentioned facts were all received well with great applause immaterial of caste, creed sex, majority or minority. By the mere knowledge that we have, it is sure that these all people escaped unhurt. But a poor Professor hailing from Muvattupuzha lost his hand when he prepared a question. What revolution has taken place in Kerala to make this incident happen is really absconding. What is the difference between the then Kerala and the present Kerala? It is cent percent sure that we have gone lot many steps ahead in the fields of education. But something is really lacking and leaking and something has changed tremendously. Culture is really lacking and leaking and the mindset has been infiltrated with high intense community based venoms. Who are the villains? Is it politicians or our mind itself ? An introspection must be made to unravel the same.
Skipping back to the same old story of Prof.T.J.Joseph of Newman College, Thodupuzha The wordings in the question paper prepared by Prof.T.J Joseph of Newman college is an adaptation from ""Thirakadhayude Reethisasthram" a book written P.T. Kunjumohammed (Director of Mohanlal Starer Malayalam fim Paradesi) a famous left sympathizer.In that book, an insane character used to talk with ‘Allah, the most benevolent and merciful’ five times a day usually during off times and used to interact with him asking silly, unethical questions. One day
Allah got angry and used some bad words to scold him. This conversation was quoted in the question paper for adding appropriate symbols as this book being a reference material for second B.Com Malayalam Supplementary. The Professor while making the question paper gave a name to that insane as Mohammed. A section of people residing in hundred percent literate Kerala misquoted that as Prophet Mohammed and made the Professor a culprit.
Some hooligans and politicians raised this issue for their own vested interest and the Government arrested him to please the minorities and to capture their votes. The police handcuffed him and gave a strong wrong message that he is a culprit or he has done anything wrong without going into the merit of the incident, finally leading to the chopping of his palm. The untimely interference of the Government has acted as a catalyst for the fundemantal forces to execute the crime.

It was there in reports that a section of people representing an organization called “Solidarity” rushed to the hospital to donate blood, which is highly appreciable and praiseworthy. Keralites should stand in unison to fight against these type of activities irrespective of caste creed or sex. They should try to sideline or corner the fundamentalists and should act as espionages to prevent such kind of extremist activities for general public. What will go to the share of ALLAH from the chopped palm of Professor. What is the aerial lead that the fundamentalists’ can take from the chopping incident. The act of a section of community has taken the religion 50years backward back to the bullock cart era, which was quite unheard that time also. Let us stand in unsion as the Children of Mother India,
“”Ram Amir and Joseph””

A Session between Life and Death:- Praveen Sakalya

It was on a happy Sunday evening myself and wife were gearing up for a photo session to mark the event of our upcoming first wedding anniversary. Suddenly my mobile phone rang with the dreadful music of Nagavally (the female protagonist of Superhit Malayalam Film, Manichitratazhu). It was my PhD guide and Boss, who asked me to report at Kayamkulam the very next day morning to form the part of our ongoing research survey of Ministry of Earth Science , Government of India to unravel some sub-surface information. My joy had no bounds when it was heard that my favourite colleague and one of my trusted Lieutenant Sreekanth is joining with me for this field work.

Monday early morning we started from Thiruvananthapuram towards Kayamkulam by our own official chariot. We reached there by 8:30 after breaking for a small refreshment at Kayamkulam. We started the work with the help of local workers. A 10m high drilling machine drills below the surface and take mud samples upto 15m depth on an interval of 0.5m.

Our duty was to sort these samples, bifurcate and categorize them into different carry bags according to their layers and finally to write a description based on their texture composition. This process continued, since they provided a sample every 30 minute.
Due to extreme humidity I borrowed a mattress from the immediate neighbourhood and took a shelter under a shade until the next sample get ready. I don’t know, when or how I was eloped into a small sleep. There comes the villain, a mid-day dream and the dream is as follows:
I was traveling in our own official car with our driver, me seated on the front seat . The car was moving comparatively in a good speed. Suddenly the car exploded, with huge noise. I can’t understand what is happening. 100% full of darkness. Breathing gets tougher for me. I knew that I was dying.

Suddenly the memorable events in my life flashed through my mind like a slide show, right from my birth, childhood, college days, job, marriage and finally the phone call of boss and the photo session which happened the other day. I was yielding to my death. Suddenly innumerable sound came from all the sides saying “bye, bye…..bye from this world”. I made it 100% sure that I am bidding farewell to my life here, in this World. I felt guilty of not finishing my Phd. I felt sorry to die without completing my PhD. One second I thought about my family members. Who will take them to outings if I am not there, and also about my wife. Any way I was confident that any way she will not suffer as she has a job as an officer with a leading Nationalized Bank.

At that time sounds of motor and thick dark fumes started spreading. I felt like vomiting. I prayed to God, no problem I will die but let me die peacefully without suffocation. God…..the inestimate provider of benevolence and mercy, help me…..I tried to open my eyes, but I can’t. I felt thirsty but I am unable. Finally I decided to stop my resistance and defence. OK bye I am dying. I made it sure.

Suddenly someone gave me a huge push to my body and shook my head, I opened my eyes, it was Sreekanth. Da..the next sample is ready. I heard the sound produced from the drilling machine and the thick dark fumes, the very same thing which I saw minutes before. I was really 100% sweating as if I had taken a bath. I realized….this time also I escaped, It was a dream….I recognized with a huge sigh of relief.

I don’t know whether these are all the primary steps we encounter before leaving this world ? May be, Who knows? Again prayer to God Almighty, let not this happen even if we die……………

സുകുമാര്‍ Azhikode

2010-03-19T23:37:00.003+05:30

It was through the New Indian express that I came to know about an interview with Prof.Vilasiny the old fiancee and soulmate of Prof.Sukumar Azhikod. The revelations made by Prof.Vilasiny in that interview is shocking and it exposed the psuedo face of Azhikod. She spoke with ample proof, facts and figures with lot of supporting evidence. She still holds a ray of hope for a person who violated moral ethics.If a person is not trustworthy to himself and his consciousness how can he guide the society. If Azhikode violated the promise he made to teacher years before, Joshy can also break the same with Thilakan.

The arrogance he showed towards Mohanlal is gruesome. Actually he is in a whirl of frustration and intolerance. He cant tolerate people growing and gaining importance more than him. Sir, It is high time to stop your verbal vomiting and megalomaniac behaviour otherwise Keralites will provide a deaf ear to you.

If Mr.Innocent is totally fit for that name, You are unfit for your name..as per Vilasiny teacher's excerpts

Kanichukulangara verdict: A black mark to Indian Judiciary

2010-03-16T16:56:00.000+05:30

Kanichukulangara verdict: A black mark to Indian judiciary

The most sensational and gruesome murder that happened in Kerala "Kanichukulangara" murder case lost its seriousness by the recent verdict of the case by the fast track court Allapuzha and transmitted a clear message to the comman man that Indian judiciary acts by the evidences and from the mouth of the witness which all are a varying parameter controlled and manipulated by power and money cremating the facts, figures, real incident and the motive behind it as time goes by. The story of the incident is as follows

Binnesh and Sajith the Managing Directors of Himalya Chit fund with their close associate Ramesh grew in to a multifirm meganomaniac business establishment with so many quotable misdeeds . Ramesh who values himself for the moral deeds of a citizen resigns from their acquaintance and starts a new company namely "Everest" which grew up into a much elevated transcend establishment making them Zealots.The diffident musty people lost their virility in business got debilitated convoked and planned to kill ramesh which they accomplished with the help of a lorry driver who killed him viciously in the form of an accident taking two more lives of his relatives.

Its quite obvious and prima-facie for cats and dogs too that bineesh and sajith are the real culprits they must be severely punished. Here turns the story when the case appeared before the court. The defence lawyer first argued that the culprits were innocent. When the prosecution proved the sooth against the defence the defence lawyer told that it should be treated only as a simple murder and the culprits were only planning to kill ramesh. ( I hope judiciary looks not on the quantity of murder)
When the verdcict came the people who planned got life time imprisonment (very very less than the expected and required) and a rented killer got death(very very high than the expected and required). It is a dubious verdict , which the culprits can mollify by an appeal petition. The arduous effort of the the comman man who expected a lot resulted in vain. This verdict is a harbinger for the people who trust judiciary and police.

This is a chapter of usual scenario in India judiciary where a culprit escapes through the loop hole of evidence. Any one can commit any sort of crime which can be overcomed during the trial period with the help of manipulated witness and fabricated evidences. It's a shame to Indian Judiciary eventhough with the aid of fast track courts. Courts and proceedings must be much more fast closing all the loop holes for a culprit to escape.

Otherwise defence lawyers like LalKrishna Viradiyar (The protagonist in "Chinthamani Kolacase" sureshgopi starrer shajikailas film) must be encouraged who balances the cosmic law.

NSS and its Customs

2009-12-03T17:23:00.000+05:30

NSS and Extravagant MarriagesThe statement made by NSS that extravagant marriages should be stopped by the community is praiseworthy and highly appreciable. But it should be remebered that it was the NSS who carved rules and regulations for conducting marriages and funeral rites resulting in the wastage of money which no other caste entertain. For a marriage NSS has made it mandatory through each and every Karayogam segments that luxury coach buses must be arranged for taking the guests of bride and bridegroom to the marriage venue. For conducting a funeral rite NSS charges a contribution from the community members of the deceased. The bride's family is taking care of all the the expenses of the marriage including the grand feast. The family of the bride is supposed to meet the expenses of the bridegrooms family in the form of grocery and clothing for a period of oneyear immediately after the marriage. The reception handing over of bangle to mother in law, use of more than three sarees etc forms the part of extravaganza. Why to say more the expenses for the first delivery is exclusively reserved for the brides family. NSS should try to revoke these all rules urgently to put an end to extravagant marriages thereby inducing socialism in the community. Otherwise steps must be initated to share the expenditure mutually by the families. But unfortunately till now no NSS leader has set an example for conducting simple marriages to help the financially weaker sections in the community.

Murali and his destruction

2009-11-23T08:12:00.000+05:30

Muralis entry is emerging as a news nowadays. K Muraleedharan was enjoying all sort of power, freedom and fame in the party. Let us not forget his activities in the past. When I group fielded kodothu Govindan Nair as a Rajyasabha candidate, he as KPCC preseident stood with the official faction and urged the other UDF leaders to vote for the rebel. He initiated the same action in Loksabha byeelection for defeating M A John. But in the second bye-election at thiruvalla where UDF's Elizabeth Mamman won over Varghese george of Janathadal, it was he who commented that it was due to the grabbing of BJP votes. Think of the state of affairs of the pure humble congress workers across the state at that time when their own PCC president remarked that it was due to the share of BJP.

When LDF bid farewell to Murali after Thiruvananthapuram bye-election by blocking his entry ito LDF, it was UDF who fielded him as a candidate. UDF lost his bastions like Vadakanchery and Koduvally only due to Murali.

Earlier ' I' group contested in 98 assembly segments and 7 parliament segments. Now it has changed into a situation that no leader nominee gets a ticket. Who is responsible???. Who was benefited from these activities of Murali. Noone but congress gained and rejuvenated a lot. A dirty fish will continue to spoil the whole water unless and until it wishes to cleanse its image. He can become a minister or chiefminister, No one will oppose it...since he is KannothuKarunakarn Muraleedharan.

Vellapally speaking with NO SENSE

2009-01-10T16:37:00.000+05:30

Vellappali must realize the facts.

This is with reference to the statement of Shri. Vellappali Nadesan, S.N.D.P yogam Gen: Secretary that the forward communities including Nairs who are having only 22% of the state population have occupied 58.73% of the total in Govt: service and that the Ezhavas are still in backwardness.It has elapsed more than 50 years since the communal reservation had been introduced in Kerala.No census based on caste has been taken yet.Reservation for backward classes has been introduced in other states only after the implementation of the Mandal Commission Report.Out of the 50% communal reservation in Kerala,major communities like Ezhavas and Muslims enjoy exclusive reservation in the state .

Half of the reservation is being enjoyed by Ezhavas and Muslims.They enjoy 13% and 12% respectively.Vellappali may understand that this is beyond what they enjoy in merit quota. Besides,out of the 10% vacancies setapart for SC,ST categories, half of the same goes to Ezhavas in the absence of qualified hands among them.How can vellappali opin that 58.73% of the vaccancies are occupied by forward communities in a state where 50% communal reservation was implemented 50 years ago?

Good leaders normally deliver statements only after studying and analyzing the facts in a micro-scientific manner.Vellappali should have done that before the controversial statement.Everyone is fully aware that the Ezhavas are not at all backward in kerala now.To withstand the ongoing benefits it is quite natural that leaders like Vellappali speak pro on that even if it is not justifiable inorder to hang in communal organization.

Nair Mega Summit is with preconceived notion

2008-12-21T23:07:00.000+05:30

summit:- the brain child of Narayannapanicker

The Nair mega summit scheduled to be held on this coming 30th in Thiruvananthapuram is a gimmick of NSS leadership to throw some dust into the eyes of nairs. No nair will be benefitted from this summit. Instead it will pave an opportunity for NSS leadership to sharpen their teeth and nail to increase the bargaining power to fulfill their own vested interest dreams in the wake of upcoming Loksabha elections . For the last twenty years after the reign of Mannathu Padmanabhan and Kidangoor the community is finding themselves at sea facing this unproductive leadership . So other than petty political gains, these type of rallies must be conducted to uplift the downtrodden or financially backward in the community.

Why the Ban was exclusively for Kerala Chief Minister

2008-12-02T12:34:00.000+05:30

Why the ban was exclusively for Kerala CM alone

With full respect and condolence to the family of Maj. Sandeep Unnikrishnan

It is a fact that Kerala Government made some lapses in making it out to the funeral of Maj. Sandeep unnikrishnan. The media used it so effecitvely to corner the Government. The feeling of individuals really comes from heart. If there is entry for Karnataka Chief minister why the ban is exclusively for Kerala Chief minister and Home minister. The Chief minister of all the states have equal responsibility since he is a martyr of the nation. But it does not mean that one who comes first will be having a high sense of condolence and bereavement. Even though Mr.Unnikrishnan has hatred towards politicians he must have abstained from this act, giving VS the reservation as a chief minister. The counter statement made by VS is heart breaking and should repent for that, eventhough it is the spontaneous reaction of an humiliated chiefminister

BJP has no right to attack the Government

2008-12-01T07:25:00.000+05:30

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has started splitting venom against the UPA government, after the recent terrorist attack in Mumbai citing it is the failure of intelligence. The government may be a failure, but this is not the right time to burst it out.

Years back when BJP was ruling an Indian airlines flight was hijacked in Kandahar. As part of negotiations two major high gravity millitants were released for the rescue of the passengers. Since it is proved very well that politicians can do nothing for the country, the only thing they have to do is that they should stand in unison for fighting against terror,neglecting the petty political gains.

Hello Mr. Chief Minister, some questions for you

2008-11-29T23:38:00.000+05:30

On behalf of Keralites Mr. Chief Minister I would like to ask u some questions. You , your party and your front stepped into election procedures by uttering several things. Based on that i would like to review ur progress

!) Where is the so called ""VIP"" in Kiliroor, kaviyoor and Kottiyam sex mysteries

2) Is smart city a boon to Kerala?

3) Whether the land mafia has been eliminated from Kerala or not?

4) Corruption in bureaucracy still alive or not?

5) What is the future of Adivasis(tribal people ) in Mutthanga

6) How do u rate the political attrocities or killings between parties while comparing it with the previous government

7) How many ministers in your cabinet posses a Mr. Clean Certificate

8) What is the output of Kerala University Assistant appointment..Money or Merit or political affiliation
9) Will u be able to change Kerala or are you a mere puppet in the hands of political business men

Sorry Maj.Sandeep Unnikrishnan

2008-11-29T23:29:00.000+05:30

Keralites are extremely sorry,one behalf of our stupid politicians .It is a spineless and shameless act by the Kerala Government that they did not utter a word for the departed brave young commando Major. Sandeep Unnikrishnan who hails from Kerala. They all were busy reconstructing their party cadres when India was targeted. It is so sad,that no politician from Kerala irespective of the party made it to the funeral. Now it seems so ridiculous that the state government itself participated in the reception given to Abdul Nasser Madani when he was released from the prison. From this act of the Government it is quite obvious that the politicians have become shameless bootlickers of vote bank politics. Any way well done sandeep.Leave the ugly-nasty politicians. Keralites feel proud about you and our other heroes for the great work you have done in eliminating the terrorists. May your soul rest in peace and you will continue to be alive in the mind of Indians' as a smart, brave,talented,committed, heroic commando who laid down his life for the security of the Country
