The former Governor is credited with leading an agitation demanding the ban of the ritual of “Thookkam” (hanging) at Elavoor Devi Temple in Ernakulam district. He pointed out that Kerala failed to preserve and sustain its culture and heritage and that is the root cause of all these human sacrifice and sorcery. Though I was freely accessible to the citizens of the State, no one has come to me with this kind of grievances during my entire tenure,” said the former Governor. “There are no cases of sexual molestations, abuse of girl children and young girls. The claim that the State had achieved total literacy was a hoax,” said Gopinath, a financial consultant who had worked as a volunteer teaching the aged people to write their names.Īccording to Rajasekharan, Mizoram, where he was the Governor was much ahead of Kerala in preserving and sustaining the culture of the region. People aged 60 and above were the targeted groups. There was no attempt to teach them Malayalam alphabets. “It is true that we held evening classes to educate the illiterates to write their names in Malayalam and affix the signature. Suresh Gopinath, a volunteer who had worked in the literacy mission of the then Kerala Government in 1987-1991 agreed that the project was a publicity unleashed by the ruling party. Newspapers in the State publish frequent advertisements issued by the sorcerers and black magicians promising prosperity, well being and elimination of enemies,” said Rajasekharan. Suddenly the police have woken up to the reality that there was widespread sorcery and black magic prevailing in Kerala. “Had the entire population been literate, the State would not have fallen prey to the evil designs of sorcerers like Mohammed Shafi who is the master brain behind the recent ‘human sacrifice’ in Pathanamthitta district. He said the subsequent governments failed to expose this folly and hence they too are part of this fraud. But a major portion of Keralaites are still illiterate and the declaration of the State as fully literate was a ‘publicity stunt’ by the then Government,” the former Governor told The Pioneer. “By total literacy, what we understand is that the entire population in the State has the capacity to read and write the mother tongue Malayalam. The Apdeclaration by the Government of Kerala that the State has become fully literate was a fraud committed on the people, according to Kummanam Rajasekharan, former Governor of Mizoram.
