ThiruvananThapuram: Chairman of the Pinarayi Minister Vijayan said the Exception of the Variamkunnath Kunjahammed Haji who led the Malabar rebellion in 1921 from the list of representaters of the country’s freedom had been carried out by those who did not know about the struggle of the country’s freedom.
Vijayan said on Saturday Variamkunnath and his supporters had been recognized as fighter freedom by everyone.
The struggle of independence is multi-asularity in nature, which involves people’s movements, individual protests, protests by farmers, armed rebellion, etc.
When different groups and political parties do such protests, all of that has a common goal —- driving an English out of the country, he said.
There will be a different opinion about the type of government needed after directing British abroad, but because of the difference in government opinion, they cannot be removed from the category of freedom fighters, he said.
Furthermore, the minister’s head said the variamkunnath has opposed the people of all religions who have supported England, and he and his supporters even killed people like Khan Bahadur Chekkutty and Thayyil Moidheen.
No one can deny the fact that the 1921 rebellion against England, and has developed into a rebellion against feudal rulers who support Britain.
Even though it is a fact that in some areas, there are efforts to provide different directions for rebellion, such an isolated incidence must be seen in that way, he said.
The minister’s chairman said that history had noted that when Variamkunnath visited Madhava Menon who wrote about the rebellion, he had told him about his intention to end the spill of innocent people.
He said the variamkunnath himself had greatly denied allegations that the Malabar rebellion was between Hindus and Muslims.
His inheritance is to give birth to an anti-English line and oppose the idea of a religious-based state, he said.
