Kerala society needs more enlightenment

The Left Democratic Front (LDF) by far has the dedication and sense of goal to struggle the dual evils of quick spreading communalism and the unbridled powers loved by multinational corporations.

Talking to The Puucho at his residence right here, Mr. Sanoo stated the Congress was wallowing in casteism, whereas the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) left none unsure about their communal agenda.

Mr. Sanoo lamented that the growing communal hatred and non secular consciousness undermined the progress made by the State by way of the Sree Narayana motion, whereas multinational corporations have been monopolising even ideas. The greatest armour of freedom was the flexibility to suppose and the multinational corporations have been taking management of it by way of cash energy.

Guru’s affect

He stated the BJP couldn’t make a lot progress within the State to date as a result of there lived a person right here who unfold the concept the goodness of man was more necessary than his faith, although that concept had seen a set again of late.

“May be Kerala society is not so enlightened as it is made out to be. Take for instance the case of Emergency and how in the ensuing election the tormentors still won despite facing a campaign in which the clandestinely run torture centres and the extrajudicial killing of Rajan was exposed. Even then there were people, including writers, who justified the horrors of Emergency,” Mr. Sanoo stated.

He stated the growing inventory of superstition in society with more individuals falling for astrology and hand palmistry have been past logical reasoning.

Mr. Sanoo, who efficiently contested as a Left-backed Independent candidate from the Ernakulam Assembly constituency beating A.L. Jacob of the Congress by a good-looking margin in 1987, felt that he might not have ventured into an election journey had it been proposed within the present socio-political local weather.

“Politics then was fought on ideals and was not communal. I could garner votes beyond religious and political affiliations. At a time when the LDF was accused of politicising everything from literature and culture, I felt it was my responsibility to give a cultural spin to politics,” stated Mr. Sanoo who recollected how his marketing campaign speeches have been more about tradition than about politics and the way he by no means attacked anybody in these speeches.

He stated that whereas casting vote is a democratic responsibility, equally necessary was to elect non-corrupt and environment friendly candidates able to working logically and cohesively for the betterment of the nation and the constituency. The voters ought to realise that their religion or faith shouldn’t be the premise for electing a candidate.

However, Mr. Sanoo was outright dismissive when requested whether or not E. Sreedharan, the previous principal adviser of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation who on retirement had joined the BJP, certified as an acceptable candidate on account of his picture as environment friendly and never corrupt.

“With all due respect to Mr. Sreedharan, one has to say that he would be better off restricting himself to his area of expertise and that his choice is not right,” he stated whereas drawing on the allegory of how a person regardless of all his virtues would nonetheless be fallacious and unacceptable if he have been to again a barbaric customized corresponding to Sathi.
