Manjeri: Under the leadership of P.V. Anwar, the new organization ‘Democratic Movement of Kerala’ unveiled its policy document at a public meeting in Manjeri. A key proposal in the document is to create a new district by dividing the Malappuram and Kozhikode districts. The organization aims for political, social, and economic justice for all citizens, as stated in the declaration.
The policy document elaborates on several important points, including:
- Vigilance for democracy.
- Ensuring safety for children and women.
- Guaranteeing voting rights for expatriates.
- Promoting startups.
- Implementing an entrepreneurial protection law.
- Extending school hours from eight to one o’clock.
- Freedom of worship and belief.
- Social justice through caste census.
Additionally, it states that if teachers in government schools do not teach their own children in those schools, 20% of their salary should be allocated for BPL (Below Poverty Line) students at that school. It also calls for writing off educational loans and business loans. Compensation for wildlife-related deaths should be increased from ₹10 lakh to ₹50 lakh. Cases against farmers related to human-animal conflict should be withdrawn. The unemployment allowance should be raised to ₹2000. Criminals in the police force should be removed. A new department for elderly welfare should be established, among other significant points in the policy document.
