NSS to end public protest, seek legal recourse in row over Kerala Speaker’s comments

Despite being incensed by the ‘indifferent’ stance adopted by the State government, the Nair Service Society (NSS) has decided to put an end to its public protests on the controversial remarks made by Speaker A.N. Shamseer for the time being and approach the court instead.

A decision in this regard was made during the meetings of the NSS board of directors and executive council — the two highest decision-making bodies of the community organisation — at its headquarters here on Sunday. “The NSS strongly disapproves of the unresponsive stance adopted by the government to the controversial remarks made by the Speaker. If this government is not ready to initiate appropriate steps to de-escalate the issue, the NSS has decided to explore legal options for protecting the faith of the Hindus and has entrusted our legal team with the task,” he said.
