Threats will not work, NSS tells Pinarayi

ALAPPUZHA: Nair Service Society assistant secretary G. Sukumaran Nair has said that the NSS will not hesitate to lead a second ‘liberation struggle’, if needed, in order to get its legitimate demands fulfilled. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a ‘Nair Mahasammelan’ organised by the Kuttanad Taluk NSS Union, Mr. Nair came down heavily on Communist Party of India (Marxist) State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan, saying that the latter could not suppress the NSS through threats and that the NSS would not be deterred from working for its aim of social justice. Mr. Nair attributed motives to Mr. Vijayan’s recent statements against the NSS and alleged that the CPI(M) State secretary was trying to appease rich segments within the Ezhava and Muslim communities. There were several leaders for the CPI(M) before Mr. Vijayan and none of them had ever talked about the NSS in this manner, he said.

He called upon Mr. Vijayan to remember that a number of the most respected leaders of the CPI(M) were from “forward communities.”
