PLEASE DO NOT ADD FUEL TO FIRE



           (Image courtesy -                      onmanorama)

The present situation in Kerala has more depth and gravity than many people consider. This should have been subsided much earlier with a composed approach by the government. What is going on in Vizhinjam is misinterpreted by different political parties, media and religious groups in their own choice. But none could see it as a fight for survival of the poor. After seeing what is happened yesterday, only very few could imagine that our state is at the brink of an explosive situation. Under no circumstances we should  allow to repeat what is happened in different parts of North India years before. Some vested interests are trying to convert this into a communal violence. They only try to add fuel to fire.

I wish to pray the fighting communities that they should not lose their cool while presenting their problems at any level. I would like to request all concerned authorities including the police to ensure peace while dealing with the situation. Above all I wish to request the government to try to pacify the situation by bringing all concerned across the table. And, alongwith all these, the media should not flare up the situation by propagating any news bit to hurt any community, religion, leaders, political parties or groups. On the other hand media should take the lead to reinstate peace.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
