CPM bats for minority rights
"
SNDP, founded by Sree Narayana Guru—who upheld the unity of religions—should adopt positions that promote secularism, the statement said. The party stressed that safeguarding minority rights is essential to preserving secularism. Only in a secular society, it said, can people of all faiths and non-believers live and function democratically.
The govt, it noted, is committed to hearing the concerns of all communities and addressing them through missions, welfare schemes and poverty alleviation programmes that benefit the poor across all sections.
Kerala's renaissance movements played a major role in advancing social progress. CPM said it has continued that legacy by embracing the social justice values of those movements, while protecting and uplifting marginalized communities.
The party pointed out that efforts to communalize society aligns with corporate interests. The state's secular fabric, it said, can only be preserved by firmly resisting all forms of communalism.

He was a pioneering leader who played a vital role in kindling the spirit of India's freedom movement with unwavering conviction. He was also an outstanding thinker who believed in the power of knowledge and serving others.— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) July 23, 2025 Bal Gangadhar Tilak is remembered for promoting the concept of Swaraj, or self-rule, during British rule. A strong advocate of civil rights, he used journalism as a tool of resistance, founding the weeklies Kesari in Marathi and Mahratta in English. A scholar and philosopher, Tilak played a foundational role in shaping India's early independence movement. He led the Indian Home Rule League after its formation in 1914 and co-signed the 1916 Lucknow Pact with Mohammed Ali Jinnah, which promoted Hindu-Muslim unity in the national movement. A scholar, lawyer, and journalist, Tilak played a pivotal role in awakening nationalist sentiments through his writings and public addresses. His iconic assertion—"Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it"—became a rallying cry that inspired countless Indians to join the freedom struggle. His deep connect with the people earned him the title 'Lokmanya," signifying the public's recognition of his leadership and vision. view comments First Published: July 23, 2025, 10:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

From hardliner to man of masses
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In the chequered course of V S Achuthanandan's long and eventful political journey spanning almost nine decades, a particular short spell stands out: a sudden fall and re-emergence. Once branded as a ruthless leader and party disciplinarian, VS underwent a quiet yet thorough makeover — a deconstruction of sorts that eventually triggered the making of a mass leader. The latter half of 1990s witnessed two variants of 'vettinirathal' in the CPM as well as the state's social sphere — both spearheaded by VS. One was the almost brutal elimination of the powerful CITU lobby, and the other, an anti-reclamation stir against filling of paddy fields. Both instances bore the unmistakable prints of a seasoned hardliner. Yet, curiously, both episodes aptly capture Achuthanandan's transformation into a mass leader. Realising that he was losing his iron grip over the party, VS, then a septuagenarian, chose to re-invent and re-emerge as a true champion of the masses. His interventions, as in Mathikettan, Plachimada, Endosulphan, paddy fields, free software movement, women safety issues and anti-corruption drives went a long way in shaping the mass leader in VS. Once he zeroed in on the socio-political path to tread, VS knew exactly how to utilise it to his utmost advantage. He was always at the forefront, when it came to championing causes of the marginalised; all the time, cheekily aware of how well the crowd-puller-hat sat on his head. His public speeches, delivered in typical VS fashion, were instant hits. Blatantly engaging in theatrics, VS was famous for entertaining listeners with his dramatic intonation, interspersed with throwing of hands in the air, stressing on specific words, accompanied by a liberal peppering of humorous anecdotes, raising witty queries coupled with hilarious observations et al.

VS passes by slowly and silently, emotions outpour in varied ways
1 2 3 T'puram: Daksha, 12, clutched a red shoeflower as she stood beside her father, waiting for the special bus carrying the hearse of CPM veteran and former chief minister V S Achuthanandan to approach Kesavadasapuram in the state capital. She wanted to dedicate the flower to the favourite leader of the state, who is an emotion for many. Daksha was not alone. Several people — women and children, young and old — lined up on pavements clutching flowers all along the route taken by the funeral procession from Thiruvananthapuram to his hometown of Alappuzha. Unlike planned, the procession stopped at junctions where people had assembled, which was more or less at every turn. It was an incredible groundswell of emotions that welcomed the special bus. Many ran alongside the illuminated bus while others showered flower petals and struggled to crane their necks to grab a glimpse of their favourite leader as it drove by. People, including children, waited with drawings, paintings, flowers and wreaths. Each person held their own memories of the stalwart who played a very crucial role in making Kerala what it is now. They included the watch-and-ward of the assembly complex who saw him in action from close quarters, Kudumbashree workers, people who worked in the Secretariat during his days, SFI members from Karyavattom and the regular citizens who were in awe of the man whose life shaped the state's socio-political scene throughout his life. The fact that a crippling stroke took him off public life for more than five years did not dim the people's enthusiasm. They remembered him and missed him — not only for the fiery revolt at Punnapra but also for bulldozing corruption and mafia nexus when he was the CM and opposition leader. There were many poignant scenes en route. The police raised children upwards so that they could see VS lying in the hearse while many others from different walks of life threw roses into the bus. Women who waited for hours at Kazhakkoottam said they wanted to try to see him because "It'll not be possible to see him again. I love him so much. We all do," said a woman who waited for close to three hours by the roadside. The progress of the procession was sluggish because the crowd wanted to pay tribute. It took around one-and-a-half hours to cover the Secretariat- Pattom stretch. Though the number of people was less at Palayam and other parts of the city, it was a sea of people who were seen waiting at Karyavattom and Kazhakkoottam past 7pm when the procession reached there. People swamped the bus carrying red flags, shouting the favourite slogan "Kanne Karale VSae..." at Kazhakkoottam under the flyover while a huge number of people continued to wait at Attingal and Kollam, which is a Leftist fortress. People joined the motorcade in their cars and motorcycles flying red flags. What was striking was that many, irrespective of age groups, raised slogans reminiscing about the Punnapra-Vayalar revolt as if it was yesterday, though Achuthanandan took part in it a year before Independence.
