ALAPPUZHA: SNDP General Secretary Vellapally Natesan said that he is irked by CPM's for having observed ‘black day’ in Kerala on Sree Narayana Guru’s birth anniversary. He took to Facebook to express his response.

"This can only be seen as disrespect to Sree Narayana Guru, who is worshipped by lakhs all over the world of people. We also mourn the death of two youngsters and we are sympathetic towards their parents as well. The party’s protest in connection with the incident can be understood,” he stated.

However, observing a ‘Black Day’ on Sree Narayana Guru’s birth anniversary for an incident that happened on Sunday is tantamount to showing disrespect to the guru.

The CPM decided to observe ‘black day’ on Wednesday in connection with the murder of two DYFI activists in Venjarammoodu in Thiruvananthapuram.
