Opposition to Zumba dance unacceptable, says Kerala Speaker
The opposition to Zumba dance will not be accepted by children or the general public, Speaker A.N. Shamseer has said. Inaugurating the MLA Merit Award-2025 in Alappuzha on Saturday, Mr. Shamseer called those opposing Zumba ignorant. 'Islam is a highly progressive religion. It is a few orthodox scholars, cloaked in the attire of Islam, who are voicing opposition. We should not give in to their demands. I will stand firmly behind Education Minister V. Sivankutty on the matter,' the Speaker said. He said that Zumba was being practised by people of all genders. 'Those who criticise Zumba by claiming that participants wear revealing clothes are truly narrow-minded. The government should not succumb to the pressure of such individuals,' Mr. Shamseer said.

Need to study rising incidents of sudden cardiac arrest among youth: A N Shamseer
Kochi: There is a need to study the rising incidents of sudden cardiac arrest among the youth, said assembly speaker A N Shamseer at a function held at Medical Trust Hospital on Friday. "Youth between the ages of 20 and 40 are increasingly succumbing to sudden cardiac arrests, often collapsing without prior symptoms. This trend has particularly intensified in the post-Covid era," Shamseer said. "It is crucial to investigate whether this is a consequence of long-term effects of Covid-19 or driven by other factors. A thorough and serious scientific study must be initiated," he added. Highlighting Kerala's unique public-private healthcare model, he noted that the involvement of private institutions was essential in undertaking such critical research.
