Prime witness in sex racket blames activist

November 04, 2004 20:46 IST

A prime witness in the sensational ice cream parlour sex racket case

in Kerala on Thursday retracted her latest charges of sexual

harassment against state Industries Minister P K Kunhalikutty saying

an NGO activist "forced her to say everything."

 

Rejina, who was arrested and produced in a court in Kozhikode in

connection with a suicide case, told reporters outside the premises

that a social activist, Ajita, who brought the alleged sex scandal

to limelight in 1996, "forced me to say everything."

Ajitha, the Activist's View on the Anti-Hindu film 'Fire.'

What is your view on the controversy surrounding Deepa Mehta's film

Fire?

 

Deepa Mehta has criticised an upper-caste Hindu structure. The

opposition to the film from certain fundamentalists is unfortunate.

I don't think lesbianism is the issue against which they are

agitated. Their ire is against the attack on the Hindu structure.

This should be fought tooth and nail. Otherwise it will invite other

dangers.

The Naxalite movement, which stormed Kerala in the 1950s and '60s,

withered away by the end of the '70s, sending most of the people

involved into oblivion. A few, however, have managed to keep their

revolutionary ardour alive and work to improve society. One such is

Ajitha.

 

After her release from prison in 1977 after a nine-year

incarceration, Ajitha tried to play the role of conventional

housewife for a while, marrying and giving birth to a child. Until

1988, when a conference of women's organisations in Bombay stirred

her into action again and she founded an organisation

called 'Bodhana' (Awareness), based in Kozhikode (Calicut).

 

At that time, however, the women's movement was in its infancy in

Kerala and Bodhana died a premature death after the fourth

conference of women's organisations in Calicut. Ajitha then set up

another organisation called 'Anweshi' (Searcher) in 1993, which she

says has grown out of its infancy and now commands attention.

 

Anweshi came into the limelight with the exposure of the sensational

Calicut sex scandal involving several top politicians and

influential public figures. It has goaded the police machinery into

action, though the politicians have so far managed to evade the net.

 

Ajitha, however, is not one to give in easily. After an agitation

yielded no result, she moved the Supreme Court to get the

politicians, including Indian Union Muslim League leader P K

Kunhalikutty, arrested.

 

Ajitha worked briefly with the Janadipatya Samrakshana Samiti

(Committee to Save Democracy), founded by former Communist Party of

India-Marxist leader K R Gouri 'Amma'. But she soon found that she

could not adjust with the ways of the veteran politician and parted

company.
