This is my letter in response to an article titled THE MORAL POLICE WANTS YOU by one Ms. Suchi Govindarajan in todays Deccan Chronicle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sir, Notwithstanding your blind and irrational anti BJP mindest and support for the Kiss of Love campaign, I would have expected you to verify the facts before publishing such a trash. First of all, the report about alleged immoral activities going on in the restaurant was not a creation of the Yuva Morcha or any other Sangh Parivaar organizations. The report was published by the pro-Congress Jaihind TV. After watching the report, the Yuva Morcha activists went to the restaurant to ascertain the veracity of the report. The restaurant owners tried to prevent them. This led to arguments and some window panes were broken in the ensuing scuffle. After all this, the restaurant converted the place where alleged immoral activities were reported to be going on into a regular parking space. You should remember that not a single guest was reported to have been hurt in the so-called moral policing. Now, think about the following. If nothing immoral was taking place there, why did the restaurant authorities not initiate any legal action for defamation against the Jaihind channel first instead of attacking the Yuva Morcha? If the Yuva Morcha was against what you call freedom to kiss in public, why did they not attack any guests there who were mostly High School/College students? The entire “Kiss of Love” campaign is a sign of the pseudo secular brigades getting rattled at the rise of BJP and the Sangh Parivaar organizations in Kerala. It has nothing to do with personal freedom, freedom of expression or individual freedom. It is just petty and dirty politics being played by mainly the CPM which is on the decline in the entire country.
