Thiruvananthapuram :Gujarat-model saffronisation is underway in Lakshadweep, said CPI(M) House Leader in Rajya Sabha, Elamaram Kareem. Lakshadweep should be protected. The Centre should recall the Administrator, he added speaking at the inaugural of CPI(M) MP’s protest in front of Raj Bhavan on Tuesday.
The Administrator is not lone in his actions. Everything being perpetrated in Lakshadweep is premeditated by the Centre. This is why, for the first time, a politician has been appointed as Administrator in Lakshadweep.The Administrator, a confidant of Modi and Shah and RSS-BJP workers, together are making a mockery of democracy. Rules, never discussed or studied for, are being forced down on the people. The decisions touted are keeping the island’s people on the edge. Attempt is on to handover islands into corporate hands, including the densely populated ones. A populace that played illustrious role in India's freedom struggle now faces exile from their own native land. If the trend is allowed to continue the people of Lakshadweep will end up drifting like the Rohingyas, said Elamaram Kareem.
Binoy Viswam presided at the event. In attendance for the protest are : MPs MV Sreyas Kumar, Thomas Charikadan, AM Arif, V Sivadasan and John Brittas. CPI District Secretary Anavur Nagappan draped shawl around the MPs.
