Kerala: Pattambi region chief VK inaugurating ‘Mech 7’ exercise group widely spread in towns and villages for the purpose of health care. Conducted by MP Sreekantan. After CPM and Kanthapuram AP section leaders came forward with baseless allegations against the association, the MP inaugurated the Mech 7 Pattambi region at Ongalur Alhuda English School grounds this morning.
VK said Mech 7 is a good short-term exercise program and should be implemented across the country. MP Sreekantan said. He said he does not see any caste, religion or politics in it.
Yesterday, CPM Kozhikode district secretary P Mohanan made the allegation. However, he lost his cool when the allegation became controversial. He told the media today that he has not said anything against Mech 7 and he has no objection to Mech 7. Sangh Parivar, Jamaat-e-Islami and SDPI are trying to infiltrate such public gatherings and destroy secularism. P. Mohanan said that he had said the same thing in the past that the CPM opposes all forms of communalism. The CPM will not support anything that divides people. It is understood that Make 7 was started by a former soldier. There is no problem in it. He said, “Organization of exercise should be encouraged.” Mohanan’s controversial statement on the widespread multi-exercise combination Shan (Make 7) exercise group in cities and villages was a big discussion. Jamaat-e-Islami is behind Make 7 and Popular Front Swadheenam P, in these CPM area conference has been organized in Kannur district, Mohan alleged
The Sunni Kanthapuram section also came out in protest against the alliance. Jamaat and Mujahid factions were united behind the alliance, Rangapara alleged that it is an old form of NDF campaign in social media and leaders of Kanthapuram division joined. Former soldier P. Salahuddin started an exercise system called Multi-Exercise Combination (Make 7). Make Seven is a 21-minute workout routine. This association was started in 2012.
Former minister Ahmed Devarkovil had asked that ‘Make 7’ is a good health group and why there is a need to take the name of a group for exercise and improving health. P. Ahmed Devarkovil said that Mohanan can tell him about his politics.
“When I was invited to the inaugural programme at Kozhikode beach, I went and exercised with them. Exercise groups are of different types. There is no caste or religion in it. It is not done in a secret place but exercise is done in public in front of everyone. People are interested in it because of the results. They do it without any expectation of financial gain. CPM district secretary P. Mohanan was spoken to over the phone. It said that no organisation has been criticised and in general it has been said that caution should be taken so that no organisation can infiltrate among such groups. Ahmed Devarkovil told him about his politics.
