KOTTAYAM: NSS General Secretary G. Sukumaran Nair has strongly criticized Opposition Leader V.D. Satheesan.
Sukumaran Nair pointed out a double standard in Satheesan’s actions. Satheesan had previously said he would not visit or bow down to community organizations. However, he recently attended a church Synod meeting. Sukumaran Nair asked, “If you said you wouldn’t visit community leaders, why did you go to the Synod?”
Sukumaran Nair also said that the Congress party was wrong to let Satheesan attack community leaders like this.
Sukumaran Nair also responded positively to SNDP leader Vellappally Natesan. He agreed that it is time for the NSS and SNDP to stand together. He called this unity “the need of the hour.”
Sukumaran Nair clarified that in the past, unity failed because of disagreements over reservation rules, not because of the Muslim League as Vellappally had suggested. He added that those problems are now gone, and the NSS is ready to cooperate while maintaining its policy of equal distance from all political parties.
