‘People expect a change for the good. There should be a government that stood for values and faith,’ says Nair Service Society general secretary G. Sukumaran Nair.
Nair Service Society (NSS) general secretary G. Sukumaran Nair on Tuesday said Sabarimala Ayyappa devotees were “still bitter” about the events that hurt their faith. Speaking to reporters after voting in Kottayam, Mr. Nair said the people expected a change for the good. There should be a government that stood for values and faith. Law Minister A. K. Balan said the 2021 Assembly election was not a contest between believers and non-believers. Such a conclusion was reductive. There were more significant issues at stake. “I have not heard the NSS general secretary. It is unlikely he will make such a statement,” he said.More Related News
