"...Symbol of sacrifice and suffering after Jesus": Sreekumaran Thampi takes jibe at Satchidanandan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The controversy between Sahitya Akademi and poet-director Sreekumaran Thampi regarding the Kerala song is continuing without rest. Kerala Sahitya Akademi president Satchidanandan had posted on Facebook on Sunday morning that being crucified for others' mistakes is a great act. In response to this, Sreekumaran Thampi came out with a new post.

"The question of who comes after Jesus Christ as a symbol of sacrifice has been answered. He is an example for great works! Currently, he continues his sacrifice as the president of the Kerala Sahitya Akademi. I'm just a stupid lyricist. Simply put, this is cliche. But there is relief. The great Thunjath Ramanujan Ezhuthachan was a lyricist. The name of his major work is 'Adhyatmaramayam Kilipattu," Sreekumaran Thampi wrote on Facebook.
