Former Keralam Speaker Shamseer hits back at Vellappally with social media post on Sree Narayana Guru
In a sharp indirect rebuke of Natesan’s leadership of the SNDP Yogam, Shamseer writes that Gurudevan, who gave meaning to Advaita, is writhing and dying in the laps of those carrying new purse-strings
In Keralam, a political dispute has emerged between former Assembly Speaker A.N. Shamseer and Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) general secretary Vellappally Natesan. The tension escalated when Shamseer responded to Natesan's statement through a Facebook post featuring the image of social reformer Sree Narayana Guru. Shamseer criticized Guru, stating that the reformer is suffering in the hands of those with new financial resources.
This response was perceived as a subtle counterattack against Natesan's leadership of the SNDP, an organization dedicated to Guru's principles of secularism and anti-communalism. The controversy arose after Natesan publicly criticized the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) leader, alleging that Shamseer's mindset aligns more closely with that of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) rather than a Marxist background.
The CPI(M) leadership swiftly came to Shamseer's defense, rejecting Natesan's characterization and dismissing his claims about the senior leader's identity.
