“Representation of Muslim League, the party which demanded creation of Pakistan and the support to the Central Government by the Communist parties who sided with China during the India-China war is sending wrong signals on the future of the nation,” said Padmashri P. Parameswaran. The Kerala-based famous intellectual was delivering a speech while he was in New Delhi in connection with a function organised by Navodayam, a Malayali organisation.

“The then Prime Minister Pandit Nehru had inducted Muslim League representatives in the Central ministry just after our Constitution was framed. Being a member of the Central ministry, the Muslim League had demanded a separate nation called Pakistan and succeeded in achieving their goal. And League leader, Muhammad Ali Jinnah demanded even something more. He wanted a corridor connecting both sides of Pakistan to run through Assam, Bihar, UP and Bengal. Though that aim is yet to be achieved, the analysis of latest Religious Demographic Report by the Centre for Policy Studies shows that the population of a particular community in this belt has increased alarmingly,” Shri Parameswaran warned.

“When the Congress Party decided to give the speakership of state legislature to the Muslim League leader, the condition was that he should resign from the party. But the same Congress gave recognition to the same Muslim League and awarded the Foreign Ministry to its representative. Should the Congress change or the Muslim League? These signals are very dangerous and alarming,” he added.

He said, “Our experience has proved that the Muslim League has its own agenda. They are in governance for a long period in Kerala but the result is that neither are they taking any interest in the state nor are considering the people above a petty, religious outlook. The education field in the state is totally communalised and commercialised. The sole purpose of education in Kerala, has become export of the state’s talented youths out of Kerala with the result that every year is adding to the depletion of Kerala’s promising human resource,” he described.

“No state, no people can survive without a sense of pride in its own identity. Tradition and history are inextricably intertwined. Both have to be cherished. Mythology and tradition are the roots and soil of a history of the people. Mythology is an extension of the country'stime-bound history in the timeless past. Tradition connects mythology to history. The psychological strength these provide to the society is unbelievably great. If the people come to believe that their mythology and traditions are un-acceptable and shameful, they can never hope to summon the strength and courage to build up a bright future”, Shri Parameswaran said.

“Unfortunately this is what is happening in Kerala. This can be illustrated by any number of examples and incidents. The aspiration to name the Kochi international airport after the great saint Shankaracharya was thwarted by powerful voices from within and without. The effort to erect a statue of Thunjath Ezhuthachan in his own birth-place was frustrated by organised elements at the very same place. Recently the proposals to have an imposing statue of Parasurama at Kovalam, close to Thiruvallam, where an ancient Parasurama temple is located, was immediately opposed. The famous Sairandri Valley, now known as the Silent Valley, the Kundi Puzha, remembered and associated with the mother of the Pandavas and Pathra Kadavu associated with the mythological Akshaya Pathra, are all facing the threat of vandalism by money-minded vested interests,” Shri Parameswaran informed.
