I'm frail, but I want to continue writing: M K Sanoo
KOCHI: Despite suffering from age-related difficulties, M K Sanoo was keen to continue writing. And he was working on a book on Ananda Theerthar, a prominent disciple of Sree Narayana Guru. 'I am handicapped by age. But I have some pending work. A book on Ananda Theerthar is in the works. Though he was born a Brahmin he fought against caste discrimination. The younger generations must know about his struggles. I am searching for a youngster with a taste in Malayalam literature to complete the work,' Sanoo said during an interaction with TNIE on June 24. The demise of his wife N Retnamma in 2023 came as a big shock for Sanoo. They were married for nearly 70 years. 'I feel lonely. She was the strength of my life,' he had said. Ratnamma was the daughter of V Madhavan, the former health minister of Travancore-Cochin state. But Sanoo insisted on avoiding extravagance. Union minister K N Katju, state ministers Panampilly Govinda Menon, A J John, and T M Varghese attended the wedding. 'We served the guests tea and idli,' Sanoo said in an interview to TNIE last year. 'I joined Maharaja's College in 1977. We had a galaxy of eminent professors including M Krishnan Nair, M K Sanu, and M Leelavathi. That was the golden age of Maharaja's. Though a liberal, Sanoo Master was not associated with the leftist movement at the time. But when the college decided to introduce a shift system he opposed it. When he contested the assembly election, former students and artists from across the state came to Kochi to campaign for him,' recounted publisher CICC Jayachandran.

"If irresponsibility has a face...": Nirmala Sitharaman slams Rahul Gandhi over remarks on Arun Jaitley
ANI "If irresponsibility has a face...": Nirmala Sitharaman slams Rahul Gandhi over remarks on Arun Jaitley New Delhi [India], August 2 (ANI): Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday slammed the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over the remarks he made about the late Union Minister Arun Jaitley and said that such "irresponsible" remarks only hurt the Congress. Finance Minister responded to Rahul Gandhi's remarks, as the latter claimed that Arun Jaitley was sent by the Modi government to "threaten" him for trying to fight against the farm laws. In a post on X, Sitharaman said, "If irresponsibility has a face, it is Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in LS. To throw baseless allegations at people in public life, even those who are no longer with us, is becoming a personality trait for him. His remarks on the late Shri. Arun Jaitley is despicable. India needs a strong opposition party. An irresponsible leadership hurts his party @INCIndia and the country. But does he care? — nsitharaman (@nsitharaman) Earlier in the day, while addressing the Annual Legal Conclave 2025, Rahul Gandhi, during his speech, claimed that the NDA government had sent the late Minister Arun Jaitley to "threaten" him for trying to fight against the farm laws introduced by the Modi government earlier. "I remember when I was fighting the farm laws, Arun Jaitley was sent to me to threaten me. He told me, 'If you carry on opposing the government, fighting the farm laws, we will have to act against you. ' I looked at him and said 'I don't think you have an idea who you are talking to,'" Rahul Gandhi said. The Congress leader also launched a scathing attack on the Election Commission of India, and alleged its complicity in the large-scale voter fraud."I remember when I was fighting the farm laws, Arun Jaitley was sent to me to threaten me. He told me, 'If you carry on opposing the government, fighting the farm laws, we will have to act against you. ' I looked at him and said 'I don't think you have an idea who you are talking to,'" Rahul Gandhi said.
