Mr Noushad, a street vendor in Kochi has emerged as the hero of Kerala, after he set himself as a model to emulate for others, by donating nearly 10 sacks of new clothes kept for festival sale, when a group of volunteers approached him for donation to help victims of rain fury.
Linu, a Seva Bharathi activist was one among the brave warriors of the state who lost his life while fighting the rain fury. Linu was engaged in rescue works from Saturday Morning and it was by the afternoon that his friend realized that he was missing. After a long search, his body was found by 9 30 pm.
But post the heroics of both persons, there have been attempts to politicize their efforts. People have come out pointing out the CITU affiliation of Noushad to drive home the point that his goodness is somehow connected to the party. Actor-Director Joy Mathew was now slammed such attempts to politicize the heroics of these people.
“The bad mind of Malayalis which put a price to the death of people was revealed in the last few days… Some people have come up with a CITU membership card of Noushad. So be it. There are plenty of organizations for one to believe. Sevabharathi has now come out claiming Linu was the ‘sacrifice’ from their side. Another group claims he wasn’t a Sevabharathi member.
Actually, the sacrifice of Linu or the goodness of Noushad has nothing to do with their party…We should understand that they had the kindness in them that no party propagates” wrote Joy Mathew on Facebook(Original post below)
