slogans-

India gained independence as a result of many peaceful struggles. No freedom fighter has ever raised a threat slogan against the British. Moreover, the struggle songs played on that day evoked patriotism and upheld the cultural glory of India. Even defiant slogans had a certain dignity. No dignified political party and cadres will raise vulgar slogans. Regardless of the party, the people are concerned about violence. It is understandable if such vile words are raised in the battle cry of gangsters. But the members of responsible political parties who believe in democracy are calling for such things, it is a sign of the breakdown of tolerance in the country.

The Yuva Morcha marched to the MLA camp office of Speaker AN Shamseer, accusing him of insulting the Hindu god Ganesha. The Yuva Morcha leader's speech inaugurating the march had a threatening tone by mentioning the hand chopping cae of Prof TJ Joseph. Such remarks are not very appropriate, whether they are meant to excite the rank and file or grab public attention. In response to this, CPM State Committee Member P Jayarajan said it was too much. He said that the place of the youths who raised their hands against Shamseer will be in the mortuary. In the BJP's march against this, the slogan was raised that if one of us retaliates, no mortuary will be enough. Changing the slogans in this way will only create insecurity, conflict and clashes in the country. Senior leaders should intervene and put an end to this.

It is not correct to portray Speaker Shamseer as a politician who insults Hindu culture and Gods. He is representative of all sections of people in his constituency. The current uproar is due to a misinterpretation of one of his remarks. Hindu culture and gods are not washed away by someone insulting them. Vaikom Muhammad Basheer was a writer who valued humanity and the cultures of different religions the most. He has written a story called Bhagavad Gitayum Kure Mulakalum. Because of that no one dared to portray him as anti-Hindu. If someone tried to do so, it would not have gone trivial. The value of the Bhagavad Gita has not diminished even an inch because he gave such a title. But nowadays no writer dares to make such a title. With the passage of time, the tolerance of various groups of people is decreasing. Along with that, when there are slogans spreading the call of death, the country becomes uninhabitable. So mature senior leaders of all parties should dissuade the ranks from chanting such slogans.
