CPM leader M A Baby has responded to Tamil-Malayalam writer and screenwriter Jeyamohan's derogatory remarks against the Malayalam film Manjummal Boys. His blog published under the title 'Manjummal Boys Kudikara Porukkikalin Koothattam' stoked a controversy on social media. Jayamohan had alleged that the film Manjummal Boys irked him and like many Malayalam films, it is just a celebration of some wayward drunkards. M V Baby replies to it via a Facebook post.


Full version of FB post
Malayali Tamil writer B Jeyamohan alias Jeyamohan Nair, insulted the Malayalees addressing them as ‘wayward drunkards and his usage comes from his Sangh Parivar background. Jeyamohan's efforts to create a controversy with the help of the film Manjummal Boys are part of the Sangh Parivar's attempt to insult the Malayalees and Kerala. Controversial industrialist Jeyamohan's Karseva is after the movie 'Kerala Story'.

What I have to say is- yes, we are wayward drunkards! (Kesavadev along with Kedamangalam Papukutty and Ramdas, nicknamed themselves the ‘three Pokiris of Paravur.) These wayward drunkards organized and struggled to create the most progressive society in India. Also, these pokiris destroyed the foundation of caste-born naduvazhi supremacy. It is our glory that people like Jeyamohan are uncomfortable with the revolution created by these drunkards.

A close reading of the Sangha Parivar ideology, which lurks in many of Jeyamohan's extraordinarily attractive writings, is revealed not only in his statements, but even in his most famous works like 'Nooru Simhasanangal'.

There is a song called 'Purambokku' by the one and only T M Krishna, who is one of the most famous musicians alive in India today. It is a celebration of wayward drunkards. That song is a fitting response to Jayamohan's insult.
