3. Kerala can’t have any more Memorials as it hurts Islamic tenets

Report: Islamic fundamentalists in Kerala are opposing the construction of the memorials of famed poets Edasseri Nair and Madhavikutty since in their words “setting up an edifice in commemoration is against the tenets of their religion.” Members of the Sahithya Academy and eminent cultural leaders are said to be in stoic silence over the matter, for fear of rejection. Sources have indicated that the same set of fundamentalists who desecrated the bust of OV Vijayan is behind the fiasco of denying a memorial for Edasseri.
