TRIVANDRUM: Leader of Opposition within the Kerala meeting, V D Satheesan on Tuesday sought stringent motion towards the monks who allegedly discriminated towards Devaswom Minister Okay Radhakrishnan on the premise of caste throughout a operate held at a temple in Kannur district not too long ago.

The Congress chief mentioned if anybody is attempting to convey again untouchability, even after 100 years of Vaikom Satyagraha, it needs to be taken very severely, and the federal government has to take stringent motion towards the involved individuals.

Terming the incident as ‘stunning and unlucky’, Satheeshan requested why the Minister hid this reality for thus lengthy.

“He (minister) revealed this in a public meeting. My suggestion is that the government should take action against the concerned people because, 100 years ago, we conducted the Vaikom Satyagraha for the backward communities, Dalit communities. In 1936, we had a temple entry proclamation, allowing entry to backward and Dalit communities to temples in Kerala,” Satheesan mentioned.

He mentioned the minister ought to have formally complained in regards to the incident and brought motion towards those that practiced untouchability.

“It should not happen, not just to a minister but to anyone in Kerala. Imagine if this could happen to a minister, then what would be the attitude of such people towards a common man?” he requested.

Satheesan mentioned it was the accountability of the federal government to provoke motion towards these involved.

Otherwise, such incidents will recur elsewhere, Satheesan added.

Radhakrishnan, who hails from the Scheduled Caste neighborhood, had on Monday mentioned two monks of a temple refused at hand over the small lamp they’d delivered to gentle the primary lamp positioned on the venue for marking the inauguration on the shrine.

Instead, they themselves lit the primary lamp, and after that positioned the small lamp on the bottom, considering that he would take it, he had alleged.

Though the minister did not reveal the title of the shrine, information channels aired the visuals of the current inauguration of “nadapandal” at a temple in Payyanur in Kannur district, through which the minister participated.

It might be seen within the visuals that the monks weren’t handing over the small lamp to the minister and inserting it on the bottom.
