Caution advised on atomic plants

Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliar, general secretary, All India Jamiyyathul Ulama, has said that the Union government should be vigilant in setting up nuclear power plants in the light of the recent natural calamities.

He was speaking to presspersons here on Sunday in connection with his Kerala Yatra, a 16-day vehicle procession through the State on the theme “Manavikathaye Unarthunnu” (awakening humanity).

He said the farming community in Wayanad was highly vulnerable to many factors, especially economic exploitation.

He sought the intervention of the government to solve the issues fast. Answering a question on the Indian Union Muslim League getting a fifth Minister in the Oommen Chandy Cabinet, he said it should be treated as a political issue and not as a communal one.

The Musliar said the Yatra had no political motives, but it was aimed at arousing Keralites out of their spiritual lethargy and channel their creative energy for the betterment of humanity.
