CPM-NSS standoff will not continue too long

The standoff between CPI (M) and (NSS) will not last for too long as there will be immediate reconciliation between two because election to the Parliament is in need of attention. When CPI(M) secretary Pinarayi infuriates NSS with appalling remarks Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan’s gentle gesture asking NSS to show its secularist character is a signal in that direction.
However, one appealing matter is while Pinrayi and NSS general secretary PK Narayana Panicker accuse each other for creating communal divide in the state, both are obviously doing the same. Pinarayi when praises SNDP and certain Muslim outfits, Panicker is hand-in-hand with Christian communities. Both the leaders have their own contributions to carry the present communal dissonance in the state. The person getting much advantage of the current turmoil is SNDP Yogam secretary Vellappalli Natesan. He has innumerable glass covered cement structures of Sree Nararayana Guru in the state and often the glasses of one or two are smashed every night. Vellappalli comes then with protest and remains in channel screens happy with his newly implanted milk white teeth.

The significant aspect that the state faces is the meaning of the word ‘social justice’. Panicker’s social justice is not Vellappally’s and that is entirely different from that of Pinrayi. All are conspicuously creating tension among communities in the society and it will possibly subside after the election. Meanwhile, to keep a wit, remember about those not so old flex boards of Panicker and Natesan appearing as ‘Aniyan Bava and Chettan Bava’
