Yesterday I tweeted about Kerala being threatened by Centre to change the name of ‘Family Health Centers’ to ‘Ayushman Arogya Mandirs’. Today worse news – National Medical Commission has replaced the Asoka emblem by the image of Hindu god Dhanvantri. Bigots of the first order!

Kerala BJP state Vice Pre. issues a public threat to CM Pinarayi that he may not be able to sleep peacefully at home and will have to visit his children in prison if investigation on BJP hawala fund is further pursued. One case on black money in election and BJP goes crazy.

Indian rupee at its historic ever low of 70.90 against USD. Petrol prices at the historic height of ₹80.54 per litre. This is not a natural calamity but Mody made disaster.

Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan declares that the state will not implement the blatantly unconstitutional Citizenship (Amendment) Bill. Hope more states will adopt this position. #CABBill2019 #CABAgainstConstitution

What is the offence that I have committed under FEMA? ED clarifies in court that I am not accused or suspect at this stage. Then why demand a long list of documents and data roving into my privacy in the summons?ED seeks time for clarification.Truly,Modi time is our Kafka moment.

The revised school textbooks of Kerala will include Preamble to the Constitution. The curriculum will be gender sensitive. Lessons on Pocso rules, democratic and secular values and scientific temperament will be included.That’s our response to attempts to communalise education.

As per RBI, daily wage of construction worker in Kerala is highest in country at ₹ 837 in 2021-22. Workers in 59 sectors are protected by Minimum Wages Acts in the state. In Gujarat,at comparable level of per capita income, wage is only ₹296. What a contrast in redistribution!

BJP lost clean Delhi municipal elections. What it couldn’t do through ballot it is trying to do by arresting Manish Sisodia. In every opposition ruled state cases are filed and leaders arrested to destabilise governments.The arrest of Deputy CM of Delhi is utterly condemnable.

For the first time in history islands-wide protest in Laccadives:Hartal of all shops, 12 hour long hunger strike by entire population in front of houses and panchayats members in front of their office. Gandhian non- cooperation struggle seems to be on the card. #savelakshwadeep

PM Modi must respond to the joint letter of opposition parties on Covid policy. The earlier joint letter went unheeded. It is a national emergency. PM cannot continue with ostrich like policy. Open a dialogue on what is to be done. #VaccineForAll

What a bonanza to the corporates. Corporate tax decline from ₹6.6 lakh crores in 2018-19 to ₹5.5 lakh crores in 2019-20 and further to ₹4.5 lakh crores in 2020-21 as a consequence of unsolicited reduction in corporate taxes in 2019-20 budget.

Aiysha Sultana, budding filmmaker, booked under sedition charges. Crime: Dared to describe admin policy a bio-weapon . Reason: Laccadives did not have a single case of Covid for a year until admin removed mandatory quarantine for travellers. Now Covid rages. Some sedition indeed!

Islands locked down with route marches and night curfew. Yet almost every household raised raised black flags and clanged utensils to shout slogans. Where flags were taken down people changed into black attire. Yet Admin denies any protest.Turmoil is in Kerala! #SaveLakshdweep
