Fight against attempts to destroy secularism and diversity, says Minister

A colourful function with a patriotic aura marked the 77th Independence Day celebrations at SKMJ Higher Secondary School ground here on Tuesday.

Delivering the Independence Day message after unfurling the tricolour and receiving the guard of honour, Forest Minister A.K. Saseendran said warriors such as Pazhassi Raja and his commanders-in-chief Thalakkal Chandu and Edachana Kumkan in Wayanad had played a significant role in the fight against the British rule.

The Minister said their guerrilla war tactics and fighting inside the forest still inspired the public. He added that it was the duty of every citizen to protect the nation’s unity and fight against all attempts to destroy secularism and diversity.
