Kerala hummer horror: Political parties, including BJP, maintains stoic silence

The approach of the Opposition CPI (M) has been almost the same over last 18 days.

In a disturbing trend, political parties and social organizations in Kerala have been maintaining a stoic silence over the humor horror unleashed by beedi king Muhammed Nisham. Even the social media, which had spontaneously reacted to several recent issues, turned away from any campaign or outburst, demanding justice for the victim K Chandrabose.

Despite reports that senior Congress and Muslim League leaders were working out strategies to ensure safe exit for Nisham from all criminal cases, including the murder case, the silence of BJP is most conspicuous.

When asked about the party’s silence over the issue even after the death of the victim on Monday, a senior BJP leader said, “we would react after Shivaratri celebrations.’’

The approach of the Opposition CPI (M) has been almost the same over last 18 days. No CPI (M) leader has come out against Nisham over these 18 days, since the attack. But on Tuesday, CPI (M) state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan made a quiet reaction on his facebook page, saying that the financial sources of Nisham should be probed and he should be given deterrent punishment.’’

So far no youth organizations, including the CPI (M)’s DYFI, have come forward to condemn the attack and the subsequent murder. On Tuesday, the LDF resorted to the usual weapon, a hartal at Manaloor constituency, the home town of the victim.
