Variyamkunnath martyrdom centenary to be observed today
The Hindu
Family cancels mega programmes planned in view of COVID-19 spread
The Chakkipparamban family, the descendants of the 1921 Malabar Rebellion’s Mapila hero Variyamkunnath Kunhahamed Haji, has abandoned various programmes it scheduled at different parts of the State on Friday as part of celebrating the centenary of Haji’s martyrdom. The celebrations were abandoned in view of a spurt in COVID-19 cases.
It was on January 21, 1922, that the British police executed Kunhahamed Haji at Kottakkunnu here and burnt his body along with all his belongings. Some historians, however, claim that the execution had taken place on January 20, 1922.
