Enhanced enthusiasm in Malappuram

Nava Kerala March is in Malappuram. Experience here is a bit different from the first four districts that covered. Last two days were in Kozhikode district. Unbelievable crowd in each centre. The concluding programs on both days were equivalent to district level rallies. The program at Kozhikode Beach was jointly organised by the two constituencies in Kozhikode city. Increased participation of women was noticeable everywhere. Women are not only coming to greet the march but also was participating in the meeting keenly listening to the speaches.
The special experience of Malappuram was the enthusiasm visible among the people especially the youth. Hundreds of youth were found moving, often adventurously, along with the march. Reception in each centre was organised with unique programs. There was heavy turnout of people in all the centres from the first reception point in Malappuram district at Aikkarappady to the concluding session at Tirur. The crowd was such that it couldnot be counted to compare the participation. The unprecedented participation of people was giving a feeling that transformation of Malappuram is complete.
One of the important slogan of Nava Kerala March is “Secure India”. Security of the nation depends on many factors. A correct foreign policy is one among them. When the speakers describe the recent deviations in foreign policy and their far reaching adverse implications, the attention and response of the people were very keen. The pro-imperialist and pro-zionist approach was one that was explained. Israel is brutally attacking the Palestinians. Universities, Hospitals and kindergartens were attacked. During the recent attack more than one thousand palestinians were killed. Israel has not allowed even rescrue operators to enter the death devastated Gasa.
Israel gets support and strength from US. The remaining days of Bush has provided favourable situation for Israel to do any thing they wish against Palestine. The Indian policy was not one that approves the killing of Palestinians by Israel. Governments under Nehru and Indira Gandhi was not willing for any sort of relation with Israel. But the present UPA government has not only established diplomatic relations with Israel but also has made India the largest market of Israeli arms. Israel has exported arms worth $.276 Crores during 2002-2006. Out of that $.150 Crores were purchased by India. India has launched the Israeli satellite that is used to mark the populated areas for killing the Palestinians. The political parties including the Left has demanded that all relations with Israel shall be severed in the context of this dastardly attack. But, the defence minister has declared that the Government is not prepared for that. The presentation of memento by a state minister of the UDF to the visiting Israei Prime Minister may be recollected.
Congress is leading the UPA government that converts India into an ally of Israel that sheds blood in Palestine and a the US that organise massive killing in Iraq and Afghanistan while making India to serve the US interests. The very same congress in collaboration with Indian Union Muslim League is trying to hide these important issues from the attention of the people through nefarious means. Congres and the IUML are unable to face and answer the people on issues like assistance to Israel, Nuclear Co-operation Agreement, Strategic alliance with the US, Military co-operation, Indian stand against Iran at the instance of the US etc. The All India president of IUML is a minister in the Central government. The government in which he is a member is moving opposite to what league says the people. League president stands a witness and ally to all these. Realising the double standard, more and more supporters of IUML, once carrying the green flag, are volunteering to carry the red flag enthusiastically. People are crowding to greet the Nava Kerala March with enhanced enthusiasm in realisation of the fact that it is the CPI(M) that takes the correct stand in the issues affecting the people and that the congres and IUML is engaged in anti-people and power politics. This wave of enthusiasm makes the reception centres in Malappuram shining.
