Amid a controversy over Kerala Assembly Speaker A.N. Shamseer’s alleged remarks about Lord Ganesha, CPI(M) leader K.K. Shailaja has said he has not mentioned anything about beliefs or believers and cautioned that there are attempts to separate people.
Ms. Shailaja, also the State’s former Health Minister who was at the helm in tackling the coronavirus pandemic, also said on Friday that without evidence or proof, one cannot say something is science.
Hindu organisations, including the influential Nair Service Society (NSS), are protesting against Mr. Shamseer’s alleged recent remarks about Hindu deity Lord Ganesha during a recent speech in a school while criticising the education policy of the Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Centre.
