KJ Alphons says ‘Malayalis have DNA problem of backstabbing’
KJ Alphons.
The Union tourism minister, KJ Alphons, while interacting with the media in Kochi, on Sunday, he remarked Malayalis have a “characteristic of seeing things in poor light” and have a “DNA problem of backstabbing”. The BJP leader statement came in response to former Kerala director general of police TP Sen Kumar’s criticism of the Centre’s decision to honour former Indian Space Research Organization scientist Nambi Narayanan with the Padma Bhushan.
He further said, “When the Supreme Court has constituted a committee headed by a retired Supreme Court judge to find out the truth in the Isro issue, those who are responsible to obey the court’s orders should have waited until the findings of the committee (were disclosed) … If the committee finds Narayanan was a great scientist, I would not hesitate to welcome even if he is awarded the Bharat Ratna.”
Sen Kumar also claimed that Narayanan had made little contribution to Isro.
The minister, upset over his assumption that “no Malayali likes to see another Malayali achieve anything”, said, “This attitude has to change, but do not know why this habit is so common among Malayalis. Malayalis should be happy that a fellow Malayali has been recognized, but no Malayali likes to see another Malayali achieve anything.”
