“Why did you kill my father?” asks the 12 year old Vismaya, in a heart-wrenching video that has gone viral on social media, whose father was a Swayamsevak murdered by CPM workers in Kannur
T Satisan from Kochi
These are the days with short movies, Facebook posts, tweets and YouTube videos go viral even though they are of no national and social significance. Most of them are concerning matinee idols, controversial figures, glamorous
personalities and occasionally political leaders. But, here is the short video of a 12 year old girl who laments that her dreams have been shredded and shattered due to her father’s murder going viral on social media. Vismaya carries various placards in the video movie. One of them says, that her dream was to become an IPS officer and serve her home village in Kannur. She studies in Class VIII in Kannur, the district infamous for CPM attacks against their ideological opponents including RSS and BJP every now and then. Her father Santosh (52) was killed on January 18, 2017 in his only mistake. Thalasserry, Kannur. She says that his only mistake was that he followed RSS and BJP. Now, she sees a dark future ahead; they killed not only her father, but also her entire family, their dreams, their future, her old grandfather, their food and their water. The 2.50 minute video does not speak, but the placards Vismaya displays speak volumes. She still does not know why they killed her father; no answer to this question so far. She wonders if her family’s blood and tears make the killers happy.
She says that her father had promised to fulfill her dreams despite her meager income. Vismaya’s video is poles apart from the placard campaign video of Gurmehar Kaur stating that her father was killed in a war, and not by Pakistan. Kaur’s campaign was conspicuously helping the anti-national forces both within Bharat and across the borders.
Superstar of Malayalam filmdom Suresh Gopi, MP visited the family of Andalloor Santosh killed by CPM goons. He informed the media that the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had instructed him to visit there since Vismaya’s video had drawn the national attention. He added that the matter would be submitted in both the houses of informed Parliament. The Rajya Sabha member told that BJP would launch a national campaign on war foot basis to counter the terrorist politics unleashed in the state. He spent some time with Baby, the widow of the slain Santosh and her children Sarang and Vismaya. He consoled them. He extended wholehearted
support to them to complete their education. He said, ‘the CPM violence can no longer be tolerated.’
Santosh’s murder was the first one in Kannur District this year. But it is the third one in Dharmadam Assembly constituency represented by the CM Pinarayi Vijayan since he took over last year. The murder took place when the State School Youth Festival was going on in the area. When police refused to permit the convoy carrying the body of Santosh through the place of Youth Festival, RSS and BJP workers had protested as it was the right direction the body could be taken home.
Eleven RSS-BJP workers have been killed during Pinarayi Vijayan’s LDF regime which is hardly one year old. Still the government goes ahead with its arrogant posture. CPM is not at all ready to tolerate any other party, organisation or philosophy wherever they enjoy upper hand. Since Kerala is the southern tip of the country, the brutal killings taking place here seldom draw the attention of national media. That is why RSS organised
rallies throughout the country to protest against the CPM’s murder politics ruling the roost in the state. Since the Modi government took over at the Centre, their violence has touched all time high.
As BJP bagged a seat in the Assembly election last year, a first ever happening in the state with BJP standing second in several constituencies CPM’s hatred against nationalist organisations has increased a lot. Now, they feel insecure. They are afraid, Kerala will go Bengal way shortly. It is something they cannot think even in their remote
imagination. If they are erased from Kerala, they would not have any place to show as theirs. Bengal is totally lost forever. Now Tripura has shown the hints of going to follow suit in the next Assembly elections. So, in Kerala, CPM’s last resort is murder politics. This is for enthusing the ranks and to terrorize them for stopping them from going to join RSS and BJP. This is the method they applied after Emergency when hundreds of their workers left the party and joined RSS.
But, it results in devastation of hundreds of families and life of hundreds of women and children. So, it is high time CPM rose to the occasion and paved the way for the
democratic way of political activities and tolerated others and their philosophies. If they do not understand this civilised methodology, their ultimate place will be the history’s waste bin. What waits for them will be worse than the plight former USSR and East European countries fell into.
Even CPM men admit in private that their government is a total failure in all spheres. No justice to women, children, students, etc. Pinarayi has proved himself to be the weakest CM the state has ever seen. His police still has not succeeded in arresting the elements behind the mysterious death of Jishnu Pranoy, the student of Nehru Engineering College, even after nearly two months. No legal action against Law Academy Law College and its former controversial Principal Lakhsmi Nair despite clear evidence for dalit atrocities, land scam, favouritism with respect to internal marks and attendance because she is CPM’s favourite.
News after news of sex abuses against children and minor girls pour in. Girls die under mysterious circumstances. People have to resort to agitations until the government gets ready to move its little finger! Sexual anarchy takes place in a metropolitan city like Kochi, under the banner of Kiss of Love, camouflaged as the protest against moral policing. CPM leaders get involved in abduction and kidnapping. In short, people of Kerala do not see any ray of hope for a peaceful life under the CPM-led LDF regime.
