Hypocrisy for the ‘Left Green’ Government; Joy Mathew says he is with the students in the film institute strike

Kozhikode: KR Actor Joy Mathew says he is with students in the Narayanan Film Institute strike. He also criticized the Left government for making students cling to the false pretense that they are with the marginalized, Dalits and Adivasis. Joy Mathew’s response was through a Facebook post.

‘KR All that needs to be done to end the Narayanan Film Institute student strike is for Adoorji, the pride of Malayalam cinema, to understand that this is not an elephant issue and coolly step down.

Take the son of his best friend and film festival lifesaver Shankar Mohan with him – good shot.
You will be famous again,’ says Joy Mathew.

Joymathyu said the Kerala government should not dream of sacking Adoor or director Shankar Mohanan over the issue.

‘What to say to the students. The ‘Left-Green’ government is infuriating students with the false pretense that they are with the marginalized, Dalits and Adivasis.
Don’t even dream of turning off Adoor or his scumbag Shankar Mohana Deha.
I am with the students anyway. Unity.

Joy Mathew added, “When you think of this left wing, the people who vehemently opposed Adoor’s best film ‘Mukhamukham’ as anti-communist,” added Joy Mathew.

The students and cleaning workers are protesting against caste discrimination in the institute. Director Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s statements about the strike were also controversial. Adoor had said that there is no caste discrimination.

At the same time, many celebrities from the film industry including Ashiq Abu, Rajeev Ravi and Jio Baby came forward to support the strike.
