Nair also said that the CPI(M) is implementing the party policy in people by using the power, which people themselves gave while voting. He also said there were many incidents when the state government could have taken decisions peacefully, but, in turn, complicated the issues.
Nair also said the faithful devotees try to protect their faith by preserving age-old traditions of the temple.
The Pinarayi Vijayan government also has the responsibility to preserve the faith of the devotees. If the government fails to protect the faith, the true devotees will come forward to do so. They cannot be blamed for it, the NSS general secretary said.
Faithful devotees cannot be blamed for coming forward to protect their faith, Nair said and accused the government of giving political colour to their protest.
