Title: Regarding functioning of some national and international terrorist organisations in Kerala.
SHRI P.T. THOMAS (IDUKKI):Â Recent incidents disclose that terrorist outfits have shifted their operational base to communally balanced and harmonious States like Kerala. Kerala, which is a State known for communal and religious harmony, has become the target of some national as well as international terrorist outfits. Kerala has a long history of religious harmony. It was the great patriotic fighters like Kunjali Marakkar who supported Hindu kings to fight against foreign invaders. Many are unaware of the fact that the great epic Ramayana is not the sole monopoly of Hindus. Kerala has Mappila Ramayana which was authored by Muslim poets and sung by Muslims. When the Hindu fanatics destroyed the Babari Masjid and calamity broke out, it was the Muslim brothers who protected their Hindu brothers in Kerala. One can see in Kerala a synagogue, church, mosque and temple in close vicinity. The communal harmony of Kerala was achieved by great reformers and the Indian National Congress. Some terrorist outfits are purchasing real estates in coastal areas and supporting uneducated youths to destroy the religious harmony. These outfits are functioning under the fake banner of Human rights organizations with secular name and style. Last month’s incident in which a professor’s hand was brutally chopped off in the presence of general public by the activists of terrorist outfits was an eye-opener. The pamphlets seized in repeated raids conducted in the havens of these outfits confirm their national and international link. I appeal to the Government to gather intelligence and to prevent the destruction of communal harmony. I also request the Government to conduct an inquiry by National Investigation Agency to bring to light the tacit operations of these terrorist groups.
