  "account": "The Kottarakara Nair Service Society (NSS) union has released a strong resolution against former Minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar. Their criticism stems from Mr. Kumar's disparaging remarks about the NSS and its general secretary G. Sukumaran Nair. The union firmly condemns his stance, claiming it has deeply offended the community and breached organizational discipline.\n\nThe resolution emphasizes the support the NSS extended to Mr. Kumar's family, asserting that he owes his political rise entirely to the organization. It also recalls Mr. Sukumaran Nair's intervention during a critical period in the life of Balakrishna Pillai, the late father of Mr. Kumar.\n\nThe union strongly disputes Mr. Kumar's claim that his electoral success as an MLA and Minister over the past 25 years is solely based on his personal abilities. According to the resolution, his time on the NSS board involved actions that compromised moral standards and brought disgrace to the institution, leading to political setbacks in the Pathanapuram constituency.\n\nThe resolution highlights ideological and spiritual differences, arguing that affiliating with other religious traditions while holding a position within an organization dedicated to Sanatana Dharma and traditional Hindu values is fundamentally incompatible. It asserts that Mr. Kumar no longer possesses the moral right to remain a member of his local NSS Karayogam unit. The Kottarakara taluk NSS union calls for his immediate resignation from the union, threatening formal legal and administrative expulsion if he refuses.",
