NSS general secretary G Sukumaran Nair made a strong statement on Monday. He declared that nobody's support is necessary to make NSS-SNDP unity a reality. The two organizations can achieve this goal on their own, he emphasized.
Clarifying Hindu Unity Stance
This announcement came just a day after Nair expressed support for SNDP Yogam's call for Hindu unity. He clarified that his focus remains squarely on unity between NSS and SNDP. Nair sharply criticized the media for interpreting his remarks as a confrontation between NSS-SNDP and Congress leader V D Satheesan.
Political Considerations Ahead of Elections
Nair also addressed the political landscape. He stated that it is not right to give anyone unnecessary political consideration, especially with elections approaching. On Sunday, he had questioned whether any Congress leader possesses the competence of Ramesh Chennithala.
Support for Vellappally Natesan's Call
Nair explained his views on SNDP Yogam general secretary Vellappally Natesan's appeal for Hindu unity. He described it as the need of the hour. "I expressed my view that a unity without affecting the basic values of NSS is possible," Nair said.
Upcoming SNDP Decision
Nair noted that Natesan indicated SNDP will make a decision regarding this unity in their leaders' meeting on January 21. This timeline adds urgency to the discussions.
Defending an Elderly Leader
Nair also defended a senior figure in the Hindu community. When media contacted him, he stated that it is unfair for any political leader to insult and negatively portray an 89-year-old person. This individual has led a powerful Hindu organization for many years.
The NSS chief's statements highlight ongoing efforts for organizational unity within Kerala's Hindu community. His remarks come at a politically sensitive time, just before elections. The potential NSS-SNDP unity could significantly impact the state's social and political dynamics.
