The Kerala education minister Mr.M.A.Baby has appealed to the student’s organizations not to disrupt the classes by conducting strikes and protest marches. His suggestion is to hold the processions and strikes after school hours.
This is indeed a very welcome appeal. The CPIM leader has shown courage and vision to come forward with such an advice. The question is, will this appeal be taken seriously by the concerned organizations? Recently, CPIM state supremo Mr. Pinarayi Vijayan appealed to the trade unions in the state to stop charging nokku kooli(a typical communist innovation that allows workers to charge for a work being done by a machine or some other persons, which otherwise may have been done by the registered workers) from the common man. Some ministers also echoed the thoughts, but without much effect on the grassroots level. Nevertheless, Mr.Baby’s appeal is a significant one. It would be interesting to note whether the leader would stick to this line of thought after the CPIM becomes the opposition party.
The same idea could be used in industrial sector also. The strikes that are all too common in almost all sectors of our economy(except for IT as of now), is often affecting the financial productivity of the country as such, Why can’t the protests take place after working hours in a peaceful manner?
