THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader V D Satheesan has written a letter to all social and cultural leaders seeking their intervention for putting an end to the ongoing row over the ‘narcotic jihad’ remark.
In his letter, Satheesan said that there has been growing discontent among the communities due to unnecessary debate over the issue.
This debate is threatening the communal harmony in the state and is leading to an unnecessary rift among the people. The mutual respect, trust and love among communities are now at stake due to the present controversies, the letter said.
“The state is known for its communal harmony and mutual trust among the people. Hence leaders like you should come forward to guide the people and show them the true path of mutual respect and love.
Eminent personalities like you should provide the necessary advice in this regard to the community and religious leaders such that the secular credentials of the state are not hurt,” said Satheesan in the letter.
He also sought the support of all cultural and social leaders in maintaining peace and harmony in the state.
