Not part of UDF, says Payyannur MLA Kunhikrishnan

Independent MLA V. Kunhikrishnan on Thursday asserted that he was not part of the Congress-led United Democratic Front, though the front’s support had contributed to his victory in the Assembly election. The Payyannur MLA made the remarks while responding to questions from reporters over the Communist Party of India (Marxist)’s allegation that the torching of a shed at a shrimp farm owned by his associate T. Purushothaman was part of a larger conspiracy, and that party workers were not involved in the incident. A former CPI(M) leader, Mr. Kunhikrishnan was expelled from the party after raising corruption allegations against leaders in Payyannur, including former MLA T.I. Madhusoodanan. He also levelled allegations of fund misappropriation by party leaders in a book he authored. Rejecting the CPI(M)’s claim that the fire was part of a conspiracy to frame the party, Mr. Kunhikrishnan alleged that the Left party had a history of distancing itself from criminal acts until those responsible were identified. Responding to a question on why UDF leaders had not publicly defended him despite repeated attacks …

Mohan Bhagwat: Knowledge on Hindu gods should be part of school textbooks | India News

3 min readNew DelhiJul 25, 2026 05:47 AM IST RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday batted for inclusion of knowledge on Hindu gods in school textbooks. Addressing a programme organised by the RSS on the topic of ‘Contemporary Motherhood’, he said that the new generation seeks logic in everything, and believes in discussion, not dictation. “Sometimes, children ask these questions, especially abroad, why this god with a monkey face and why does this god have an elephant face? They come home and ask these questions but the father doesn’t know, the mother doesn’t know. This should be part of textbooks, even as children can’t be left to textbooks alone,” he said. At the beginning of his address, he said, “Being asked to speak on the subject of motherhood is, in itself, a contradiction… In a way, it is women’s right, and it is not appropriate for men to speak about it.” Even as he said that today everyone thinks more as an individual than as part of society, which leads to disintegration, he advocated that …
